Summer Programs
For the past 16 years, United Way’s Summer Fund Program has provided local children who face financial obstacles or physical disabilities with the opportunity to attend summer camps and enrichment programs through "camperships."
In response to local needs, Summer Fund was expanded in 2008 to include employment opportunities for older youth (including a 2-day job training course) and cultural enrichment components for youth ages 17-21.
This year, United Way’s Summer Fund program provided over $80,000 in funding to local non-profits with the goal of increasing employment, summer camp and cultural enrichment opportunities for local young people.
Summer Fund is made possible through generous support from the Island Foundation, Bilezikian Family Foundation, Patrick Carney Foundation, Upstream Foundation and the YES and Rainy Day Funds at the Community Foundation of Southeastern Massachusetts, as well as United Way campaign contributions and individual donations.
