In 2022, California announced historic funding for the Expanding Learning Opportunity Programs (ELO-P); a $4 billion investment in summer and after-school learning programs. ELO-P mandates that public school districts and charter schools provide their most vulnerable students with enriching, 9-hour per day programs for 180 school days and 30 "intersession" days during school breaks or summer. Programs can be offered to all students, but they must provide access to high-priority students first.
Thanks to this funding and other donations, almost 80% of campers attended EDMO completely free last summer. The state of California has become a huge catalyst for equity in the out-of-school time space, making our choice to shift our focus clear and necessary.
81% reported that EDMO helped their child get their homework done on time.
Excited and better prepared kids mean better attendance rates, shown by numerous studies.
99% of parents/guardians in EDMO programs relied on EDMO so that they could go to work or school. When parents work, and their child care is free, they have more resources for other necessities such as housing and food.
Thanks to ELO-P funding, we are a nonprofit that engages roughly 10,000 students annually, up from approximately 2,000 kids we worked with pre-pandemic.
We partner with 17 school districts and charter schools, across 13 counties in Northern and Central CA.
