The Big Lift Inspiring Summers program serves 1,500 rising kindergarten to third grade students at nine sites. Inspiring Summers aims to support student’s academic and social-emotional skills and interrupt the well-documented summer learning slide that is present for economically disadvantaged children.
 

The Big Lift Family Engagement strategy is embedded in the Big Lift preschool programs, providing support and education for reading at home and family involvement in children’s learning.
