Earlier this year, I joined the Summer Search team after hearing about the incredible success they've had supporting young people from low-income backgrounds through mentoring and transformative opportunities that enable them to achieve their full potential in school, work, and life. Summer Search supports over 7,500 students and alumni nation-wide, including more than 1,000 students in NYC.

2020 has been an unprecedented year. The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak has created rippling repercussions for Summer Search's students and families such as job loss, lack of paid sick leave, and housing and food insecurity. The senseless violence against Black people has compelled communities across the country to protest against racism in all forms.

Despite everything that has impacted our country in 2020, Summer Search New York City students have continued to succeed:

- 100% of Summer Searchers graduated high school

- 96% were accepted to a post-secondary program

- 82% have committed to a post-secondary program

Summer Search remains committed to supporting our students so they may persevere, thrive, and have access to programming that truly champions justice and equity.
