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. Among Latinx or Hispanic families, the demand for summer programs, both met and unmet demand, is also strong. Half of Latinx or Hispanic children were in a summer program in 2019, or would have been enrolled in a program if one were available to them. For Latinx 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 Latinx families remained steadfast during the pandemic, with 4 in 5 Latinx parents agreeing with the statement that, "all young people deserve access to quality afterschool and summer programs." Forty-four percent of Latinx families report a child was involved in a summer program, an increase from 39 percent in 2013 and 29 percent in 2008. This translates into more than 2.7 million Latinx children (19 percent) who took part 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--during the 2019 summer.
