2024 National Summer Learning Week
Canvasses painted by youth are positioned in front of the City and County Building with the State Capitol on display in the background.
National Summer Learning Week is a celebration dedicated to elevating the importance of summer learning, and the work being done to keep kids healthy and safe during the summer, ensuring that they return to school ready to succeed! This year, the Denver Afterschool Alliance partnered with Community-Based Organizations and asked the question…”What Do You Love About Your Summer Program?” Youth got the opportunity to answer that question on large canvases in their own creative way! Before they go to City Council members on Monday, the canvases are on display in the Office of Children's Affairs at the Webb Building. Shout out to the young people and staff from DPS Extended Learning and Community Schools (ELCS), Vive Wellness, Colorado Dream Foundation and Sun Valley Youth Center for creating the most incredible art work!!
