GITC Summer Strummers 2023 Launches for a Summer of Joyful Learning!

​San Diego, CA

Happy June, Friends! In San Diego, thanks to support from the San Diego Foundation in partnership with San Diego Unified School Distric, we have been preparing our third year of Summer Strummers Clubs for children in grades UTK-5. The whole initiative is called Level Up San Diego

This pandemic recovery endeavor is funded by the federal government. It's a massive effort to engage children in joyful learning that will boost their well-being and academic progress.

We're blessed with an immensely dedicated, creative faculty of certificated teachers and student support providers who you'll see in training below. Our tiny staff worked to the exhaustion point to get this huge faculty training and supply disbursement ready on June 11th, and thanks to everyone's efforts, it worked!

We've just finished the first week of Summer Strummers Clubs as of this writing. 440 students have enrolled, our faculty of 45 keeps the student:teacher ratio low, and with help from our volunteers and sponsors, it has all come together for a summer of joyful learning!

Thanks to photographer Ayse Azcan Flanagan, we are sharing the photos below. We'll add more by photographer Binaca  James, soon.

Thank you to everyone and each organization helping out for bringing this group of caring individuals together with San Diego childre this summer. Special thanks to our Arts partners, ArtReach, Kids On Stage, and Malashock Dance for giving GITC kids a chance to flourish through artistic learning!
