Formerly called Summer Matters, Summer L.I.F.E. (Learning is for Everyone) is an experiential learning program offered to youth, ages 6 – 21, with and without special needs. This program provides youth with a varied cross-section of “real world” experiences that allows them to generalize academic, social and behavior skills across a variety of settings.

The Summer L.I.F.E. program focuses on the “Three E’s”:

  • Experiential learning for “real world” success
  • Empowering each student to be independent and productive
  • Encouraging each student to cultivate dynamic, healthy relationships

Summer L.I.F.E. is funded in part by the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) Program, grants, and donations from local, regional, and national foundations and businesses.

Organizations that support Summer L.I.F.E. through the EITC Program, grants, and donations include:

Bryn Mawr Trust Company

The Snave Foundation

SEI Investment Company
