The Summer Youth Development Program runs from June to August. The eight week program provides children ages 6-13 with a safe, fun and nurturing environment to play and learn during the summer months. During the 2011 Summer Youth Development Program the children from SACC studied Chicago’s history, took weekly field trips, read numerous books, and created a mural that is now on display at the CTA Wilson Red Line stop.

The 2012 Summer Youth Development Program will consist of many of the same activities. The primary focus will be increasing literacy and also exploring Chicago. Space is limited to 50 youth only and it is on first come first serve basis. We will begin enrolling participants in May.
