Abstract	The report "Time for a Game-Changing Summer, With Opportunity and Growth for All of America's Youth," finds that as participation in summer programs prior to the pandemic was on an upwards trajectory, there remained a significant number of children missing out. For every child in a summer learning program in 2019, another would have been enrolled in a program if one were available. Children in families with low incomes were more likely to miss out. Demand for summer programs, both met and unmet, is great among Black families, where approximately half of Black children (49 percent) were in a summer program in 2019 or would have been enrolled in a program if one were available to them. For Black families, the summer is viewed as a time for infinite possibilities, where in addition to high demand for summer programs, there are also high expectations for their children's summer programs. The value of summer programs among Black families remained steadfast during the pandemic, with approximately 4 in 5 Black parents (78 percent) agreeing with the statement that "all young people deserve access to quality afterschool and summer programs." The strong level of satisfaction for summer programs among African American families may contribute to the high level of participation. More than 2 in 3 Black parents (68 percent) report that they were extremely satisfied with their child's structured summer experience, with 95 percent of Black parents reporting that they were satisfied overall. For the first time, the report projects the number of children participating in a structured summer experience--which includes participation in a summer learning program, sports program, summer camp, summer school, or summer job or internship, and is different from child care--and finds that nearly 1.9 million Black children (22 percent) took part in a structured summer experience during the 2019 summer.
