SummerCollab

SummerCollab We work with schools and community partners to deliver year-round learning experiences that support kids’ growth—academically, socially, and emotionally.

This page highlights our impact, celebrates student success, and connects our community to our cause. Summer is a window into the life we want for ourselves, and it is for that reason that we, The Summer Learning Collaborative (SummerCollab), sincerely believe all kids, in particular our low-income youth, need access to extraordinary experiences in the summertime and throughout the school year. Ta

ckling summer learning loss, SummerCollab is dedicated to offering a summer of limitless possibilities for our low-income youth. We co-create both summer and year-long youth programs with community agencies and schools that energize kids to love learning, play wildly, and believe in the power of their unique talents. With our extraordinary summer and year-long programs, SummerCollab better equips children to engage with academic content and their everyday lives with boosts of confidence and socio-emotional growth. SummerCollab seeks to realize a world filled with imaginative, confident young people who believe in their unique talents, intelligence and unlimited possibility! Helping to bring the wonder of summer into everyday!

☀️ Summer is almost here, and our CollabClub cooks whipped up the perfect treat 🍫🔥

They learened to make S’mores Bake—a sweet combination of graham crackers, melted chocolate, and toasted marshmallows that tasted just like summer around the campfire.

Want to make it again at home? Here's the recipe:

S’mores Bake Recipe
🍪 1 box graham crackers, crushed
🧈 ½ cup melted butter
🍫 2 cups chocolate chips
☁️ 3 cups mini marshmallows

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Mix crushed graham crackers and melted butter together.
Press into the bottom of a greased baking dish.
Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the crust.
Top with mini marshmallows.
Bake for 10–15 minutes, until marshmallows are golden brown.
Let cool slightly and enjoy!

Nothing says it's almost summer quite like s’mores! We hope our students enjoy making this tasty treat with their families all season long. ☀️🍫🔥

🎉 We’re celebrating LaMar Bruton, our Director of Programs, who is celebrating a birthday today!

LaMar brings nearly a decade of experience in youth development and plays a key role in leading and strengthening our programs at SummerCollab. From overseeing initiatives like 21st Century Learning Centers and AmeriCorps programs to supporting licensed youth services, he’s always focused on creating meaningful, high-quality experiences for the young people we serve.

With a strong background in both athletics and education, LaMar is passionate about helping youth build confidence, develop their skills, and reach their full potential. A former NCAA Division I champion and coach, he brings that same drive and commitment into his work every day.

Outside of work, LaMar enjoys traveling, exploring new cultures, and trying different foods along the way.

LaMar, we appreciate your leadership and the impact you make on our programs and youth. Wishing you a very happy birthday! 💛🎂
