Yet a new study that looks in-depth at summer learning in 2019 and 2020 finds that Latinx student participation in programs remains low, despite some recent growth and remarkably high parent satisfaction. Just 44% of Latinx families with children report that their child was involved in a summer learning program in 2019 \u2013 an increase from 39% in 2013 and 29% in 2008. But while 2.7 million Latinx children took part in a structured summer experience in 2019, nearly 4.4 million more would have been enrolled if a program were available to them, their parents said.<\/p>\n<p>Those are among the findings from <i><a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3191918-1&amp;h=2518602501&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fafterschoolalliance.org%2Fdocuments%2FAA3PM-2020%2FAA3PM-Latinx-Communities-Summer-2021-Brief.pdf&amp;a=Summertime+in+America+for+Latinx+Families+and+Communities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Summertime in America for Latinx Families and Communities<\/a><\/i>, a household survey released today. Commissioned by the Afterschool Alliance and conducted by Edge Research, it finds that 47% of families overall report at least one of their children participated in a summer program in 2019, compared to just 44% of Latinx students.<\/p>\n<p>Then in 2020, participation in summer programs dropped further, as the pandemic upended education and work and family life. Just 28% of Latinx families report that their child participated in a structured summer experience last year, compared to 34% of families overall. More than half of Latinx students in a program last year (56%) participated virtually. A structured summer experience is defined in the study to include a summer learning program, sports program, summer camp, summer school, or summer job or internship \u2013 different from childcare.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;More than ever, our kids need academic help, social\/emotional support, and opportunities to engage with peers and caring adults, be physically active, and have fun,&#8221; said Afterschool Alliance Executive Director <span class=\"xn-person\">Jodi Grant<\/span>. &#8220;We must do better by giving <i>all<\/i>\u00a0students access to the summer learning programs they need. Cost and transportation should not remain barriers to participation. This summer, we have a responsibility to meet the need for Latinx youth as we work to meet the needs of all children and youth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Read the full release at <a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3191918-1&amp;h=1744795387&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.afterschoolalliance.org%2Fpress_archives%2FAA3PM-2020%2FLatinx-Communities-AA3PM-Summer-2021-NR.pdf&amp;a=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.afterschoolalliance.org%2Fpress_archives%2FAA3PM-2020%2FLatinx-Communities-AA3PM-Summer-2021-NR.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.afterschoolalliance.org\/press_archives\/AA3PM-2020\/Latinx-Communities-AA3PM-Summer-2021-NR.pdf<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>SOURCE  Afterschool Alliance<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"xn-content\">\n<p><span class=\"xn-location\">WASHINGTON<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-chron\">June 10, 2021<\/span> \/PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE\/ &#8212; The summer of 2021 will be vitally important, as students and families try to recover from the isolation, trauma, and learning loss the pandemic caused.
