What is Summer Discovery?

Ballmer Group is making an investment in summer enrichment for students in
Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb Counties. We know from parents and community leaders
that not enough summer enrichment programs for students in Southeast Michigan
exist, and we know that barriers such as transportation and cost prevent parents
from enrolling their children even if spots are available.  

Beginning in January 2024, traditional and charter schools will have the
opportunity to apply for funding to provide instruction and enrichment
activities in summer 2024. In its first year, the programs will be for students
completing grades K-8 in spring 2024 (Rising 1st – Rising 9th graders).

Why Summer Discovery?

Michigan parents report that afterschool and summer programs help them keep
their jobs, build connections to their children’s education, and keep their
children safe and engaged in learning. However, parents also report that there
are not enough programs to serve students; in fact, in Michigan, unmet demand
for out-of-school-time (OST) is at an all time high. For every child in an
afterschool program in Michigan, four more are waiting to get in.

Summer Discovery is a regional effort designed for students and families in
Southeast Michigan, where many students need more access to learning and
activity opportunities during the summer break. We believe in equitable access
to safe, quality out-of- school-time (OST) programs that grow academic outcomes,
offer enrichment activities that increase exposure and interest in careers,
engage families, and deepen community support for afterschool and summer
programs. We believe that ALL kids in Michigan deserve opportunities to succeed
in school and to dream big about their futures.
