In a bold new initiative to highlight excellence in student engagement, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of the Engage Every Student Recognition Program! This first-ever recognition program is dedicated to celebrating non-profit organizations, local education agencies (LEAs), and city municipalities or local government entities that are making a tangible difference in the lives of students through high-quality afterschool and summer learning programs.
What is the Engage Every Student Recognition Program?
The Engage Every Student Recognition Program seeks to recognize and honor collaborative efforts that successfully engage students in enriching and impactful learning experiences outside the traditional school day. These afterschool and summer learning programs are essential, providing not only academic support but also opportunities for personal growth, skill-building, and social development. This program shines a light on those who go above and beyond to deliver these transformative experiences.
Why This Recognition Matters
Research consistently shows that high-quality afterschool and summer learning programs can lead to improved academic performance, stronger social-emotional skills, and increased student engagement. By recognizing organizations that embody these values, we hope to inspire more partnerships that prioritize engaging and accessible educational opportunities for all students. When communities work together, everyone benefits, especially the students who need it most.

This program is open to:
- Non-Profit Organizations that provide meaningful afterschool and summer learning experiences.
- Local Education Agencies (LEAs) committed to broadening student engagement beyond school hours.
