The center will develop targeted messages; engage in public opinion research; convene public forums; and work to raise public awareness about the valuable role that summer learning programs can play in achieving student success. Specifically, the project will address the benefit that summer learning programs can have on young people in low-income communities.The center, based at Johns Hopkins University, seeks to make summer learning a priority across the country.
