Summer of Service Resource Center

Innovations in Civic Participation has created this interactive resource center to provide information and technical assistance for the design and evaluation of Summer of Service programs. We would like to thank Lumina Foundation for Education for their generous support of our Summer of Service initiative. Lumina Foundation for Education strives to help people achieve their potential by expanding access and success in education beyond high school. ICP also thanks State Farm® Insurance Companies for their initial support of Summer of Service..




CALL FOR MATERIALS


Our resource center is a work in progress. If you have any materials that you would like to contribute, information to share, or other suggestions regarding the resource center, please email Jos Truitt at truitt@icicp.org. Thank you!



ICP is also seeking to gather more information on Summer of Service programs and policies to add to our searchable database of youth service policies and programs. If you would like to add to our database, please fill out the updated Summer of Service Survey. The new survey is updated and expanded to provide more useful information. Please take a few minutes to fill out the Summer of Service Survey even if you have done so before.
