Fwd: A Vision of the Future

Good luck Peter. Godspeed. I've seen that group in action and they do good work. We bump into them at Chatham U. as there are squash courts near the swim pool.

Hi,

I have accepted a challenge, and hope you will consider joining me!  If I can convince you (and 99 other people) to donate $250 each, Steel City Squash will receive $100,000 from a generous donor!

As a Board Member of this terrific nonprofit, I have witnessed how kids from Pittsburgh's underserved neighborhoods benefit from participating in Steel City Squash.

In our new facility, currently being built in Larimer, we will have space for even more kids to learn and play squash, receive mentoring, and find help with their schoolwork.

Please click the link below to help us with this final and most difficult push to raise funds!

Thanks!

-Peter

Fwd: Wet Tigers! Summer isn't finished just yet -- SATURDAY event with PANCAKES if you RSVP ASAP


Hi All,

So far, the SKWIM event on Saturday morning, 9-11 at the country club by the airport, Montour Heights Country Club, is getting little traction. My hope was that pancakes would be a better motivator.

Well, we're also going to ALSO play a game of SKWIM at 2 pm no Saturday, 8/12, at Citiparks Ammon, Hill District, Bedford Ave and Memory Lane, That's Saturday in 2 days Saturday.

Come out to Ammon!

I'll be there at Ammon again tonight, Thursday. We've been playing water polo on Tuesdays and Thursday nights at 6 to 7:45. Get this.... from this Tuesday night a water polo player (young women) was present who is going to play water polo this year at UCLA. Others present were just in Greece, leading a team of water polo players from Navy. A player back from Turkey. A goalie who went to college in Queesland. A professor from Pitt moving to Arizona next school year. So many interesting people all having fun in the pool. Even a lifeguard got in and played Tuesday and he scored a goal too!

I made a calendar so you can easily follow along.

Thank You and Good Luck to NSLA's Summer Interns!
NSLA was honored to work all summer with great alumni of summer learning program partners who came to Washington DC for NSLA's 10 week, all-expense paid, policy internship program. Thank you to our partners at the Managed Funds Association, the nominating programs, and internship host offices for supporting these young leaders. 
The interns are inspiring advocates and examples of the power and impact high quality summer learning experiences can have on the lives of young people. We wish them all the best in their future endeavors. Applications for NSLA's 2024 Class of Summer Policy Interns will open in the Fall!

Where In The World is NSLA?
Brodrick Clarke, our VP of Programs recently spoke at the 21st Century Community Learning summer symposium, in New Orleans, LA. National Summer Learning Association was honored to recently visit with key partners, leaders and students from Partnership for Afterschool Education, Arts for Learning Maryland, Change Summer, TEACHERS IN THE PARKS and Rowan University in NY, DC, NJ, PA, TX, OK, AL.

All NSLA staff enjoyed site visits to learn more about our New York Life Foundation Excellence in Summer Learning Award finalists. We will announce the winners soon. 

Whether they are highlighting and integrating arts, literacy, social emotional learning, civic engagement or overnight camp experiences on college campuses, these inspiring initiatives are all creatively using the summer months to promote educational equity, create opportunity and build community for thousands of young people who might not access these experiences otherwise.


See you at the Summit in October.
