Sponsor a Child for Kids' Club Summer

After a very challenging year, help us give our children a summer filled with fun, adventure, new experiences and new friends during the 2021 Kids' Club Summer Program! Coordinated by educators, this program serves children in grades 2-5 who live in Springfield and are from families considered to be low-income.  The program runs Monday through Friday from July 6-30. 

One of the main missions of the program is to address the “summer slide” or summer learning loss.  According to the National Summer Learning Association, low-income children lose more than two months in reading achievement during the summer. Many children experience this year after year and by the end of fifth grade, can be more than two years behind their middle-class peers. 

By becoming a sponsor, you will be providing a child in our community the opportunity to improve their literacy skills, enjoy a variety of fun, hands-on activities, interact with and learn new skills from diverse community professionals, and safely connect with peers within a nurturing and supportive environment.

Thank you for your support!
