The afternoon begins with snacks, sports and games followed by homework help. Students have the opportunity to present what they have learned to the entire community at Community Meeting each week. Currently, the three service projects are environmental awareness, a literacy initiative, and a diversity awareness video project. Students and staff engage in up to 2 hours of service and then return to CRLS for reflection activities. Service projects may include working on a garden at an elderly assisted living residence, cleaning up green spaces, or making pinatas for Children's Hospital.
Many Summerbridge students work with an individual tutor or mentor during the academic year.
High school and college students, as well as community members, volunteer to meet with a Summerbridge student for two hours a week after school, in the evenings, or on the weekend to work on homework, study skills, specific content areas and just to have fun.
