This legislation, known as the Summer for All Act, seeks to significantly expand access to high-quality, affordable summer programming for youth nationwide. Its primary goal is to combat **summer learning loss** and provide safe, nurturing, and enriching environments during out-of-school time. The Act establishes two main grant programs to achieve these objectives: Summer Enrichment Expansion Grants and Summer Programming State Grants. The **Summer Enrichment Expansion Grants** are competitive awards for eligible entities like community-based organizations and institutions of higher education. These grants fund direct programming that must operate for at least five weeks, five days a week, and be offered at no cost to youth from low-income households. Programs are required to provide food and include activities such as academic enrichment, social-emotional learning, health promotion, and career readiness, with a priority on serving **low-income youth, English learners, youth with disabilities, and youth experiencing homelessness**. The **Summer Programming State Grants** are also competitive and awarded to State governors, State educational agencies, or Indian Tribes. These grants focus on planning and implementing sustainable strategies to address gaps in summer program access, building partnerships among local entities, and establishing diverse summer opportunities. Funds can be used to expand access in **underserved communities**, improve program quality, and organize stakeholders to develop long-term solutions, with a strong emphasis on sustainability beyond the grant term. The bill authorizes significant appropriations, totaling $4 billion for fiscal years 2027 through 2030, and $1 billion annually thereafter, to fund these initiatives. A portion of the funds is also allocated for data collection and research to understand the need for summer programs and track the progress of the Summer for All grant programs. All grant recipients are subject to **nondiscrimination requirements** based on race, color, national origin, sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity), or disability.
