Donate Now to Provide Awesome Summer Days for CFUM Kids

Once again, CFUM is hosting the Awesome Summer Days (ASD) enrichment program for students entering grades K-6. We continue to experience a rebound from COVID and are anticipating an enrollment of 100 students this summer, an increase of 30 students from 2021.

ASD provides purposeful, academic and cultural enrichment activities to keep our kids learning, active and connected to their community during summer break. While we know kids love summer break, research shows it is during school breaks children who live with the stresses of poverty begin to fall behind. Serving a community with a 91% poverty rate, the ASD program provides children a safe place to have fun (art projects, field trips and recreation time) and continue receiving a quality education (reading, writing, STEAM). Focus on closing the learning gap that occurs when students are not in school sets children up for success when they return to the classroom.
