How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Equitable Learning Partnerships with Shared Responsibilitymethodology: shared-responsibility-modelBy partnering with host schools where institutions contribute in-kind resources and HNYC manages operations, we expand access to high-quality summer programming, because shared responsibility lowers barriers to entry and aligns program goals with school priorities, enhancing sustainability and equity.
- Growth Mindset Through Skill Masterymethodology: growth_mindset_through_skill_masteryBy using swimming instruction as a vehicle for mastering a life-saving skill, we build student confidence and foster a growth mindset, because tangible mastery of a high-stakes, physical skill transfers to increased academic engagement and self-efficacy.
- Integrated Summer Enrichment Modelmethodology: holistic-summer-enrichmentBy combining academic instruction, social-emotional learning, and enrichment activities through project-based and STEAM learning, we reduce summer learning loss and support holistic student development, because integrated, engaging experiences are more effective at sustaining growth in underserved students than academic remediation alone.
- Long-Term, Relationship-Based Student and Family Supportmethodology: long-term-relationship-based-supportBy fostering enduring relationships with students and families through a multidisciplinary team, we improve educational outcomes, because sustained engagement and trust increase program participation, academic persistence, and holistic support beyond the summer term.
