Kalamazoo Youth Development Network is hosting our 11th annual National Day of Summer Learning event in Kalamazoo. This celebration and advocacy event highlights the critical importance of high quality summer programming for thriving youth all year long.
The event is open to everyone and local organizations are encouraged to use this opportunity to engage with youth and families. Youth-serving organizations will be attending along with the youth that participate in their summer programs. We’ll have food, music, youth performances, and fun!
We can't do it alone! If you are interested in volunteering, please submit a short application here: https://forms.gle/GHxDSdqvmWYedF3p9
If your organization would like to become a vendor and host a game for youth, sign up here: https://forms.gle/PfgukGDie5GQUC4S9
If you want to sign up as a youth performer, click here: https://forms.gle/Rp3QFex8eBsqgsVCA
This event would not be possible without the generosity of our sponsors. Please check out our sponsorship form for information on how you can support summer learning as a plank on the bridge to thriving youth! https://www.canva.com/design/DAHBsokc8HU/0pyQY1Had05PGCr0rLbWFQ/view?utm_content=DAHBsokc8HU&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=viewer
