It was first launched in 2022 by U.S. Secretary of Education Dr. Miguel A. Cardona.
The Engage Every Student initiative is a partnership between the education department, the Afterschool Alliance, the School Superintendents Association, the National League of Cities, the National Summer Learning Association, and the National Comprehensive Center at Westat. The Initiative aims to ensure that every student who wants a spot in a high-quality out-of-school time program has one.
The summit’s opening session will feature education department officials and will recognize 2024's Engage Every Student Recognition Program Champions. It is expected to provide attendees with an array of opportunities for learning, exploration, and networking.
U.S. Deputy Secretary of Education Cindy Marten will participate in a fireside chat during the closing session of the summit.
