Chicago Public Schools (CPS) is reminding students about the many summer learning programs and resources across the city. From specialty camps to programs that support credit recovery, transitions to a new grade level, or internships, there are hundreds of opportunities to keep young CPS scholars engaged and enjoying time with each other until CPS classes resume on Monday, Aug. 24th. Summer learning and reading provides opportunities for enrichment and academic acceleration that supports continued social, emotional, and academic growth through the summer months. CPL is also running its annual Summer at CPL under this year’s theme, Chapters of Chicago. Chicago Youth Works, formerly “One Summer Chicago” is providing Chicago’s students and young adults with employment this summer. Applications remain now open for youth ages 14 to 24 to fill an anticipated 29,000 jobs and internships. Chicago Park District is offering summer camps, focused fitness music, and art programs as well as targeted programming for teens and family-friendly activities such as the “Night Out in the Parks,” events including special movie nights.
