Happy #NationalApprenticeshipWeek! Summer Search is thrilled to celebrate the power of apprenticeships in fostering talent and creative alternative pathways for individuals to thrive in their careers. Did you know that Summer Search has been partnering with Aon since 2019? Through our partnership with Aon, we’re working to expand the impact of our mentoring expertise by mentoring apprentices based at Aon offices in New York, San Francisco and the Greater Philadelphia region. These apprentices are concurrently pursuing an Associates degree at a local community college and working full-time at Aon. We’re so excited to be supporting the next generation of leaders! One such leader is Jahniya Knox, a Summer Search participant and Aon apprentice who was recently recognized by the Philadelphia Apprentice Network (PAN) on the November 12th Kickoff:” Building Futures Together” for National Apprenticeship Week! Jahniya won the Rising Star Apprentice of the Year Award 🌟 Read more about Jahniya and Summer Search’s partnership with Aon on our blog: https://bit.ly/4g0pfNf #ApprenticeshipWeek #Mentoring #PhiladelphiaLeaders

Summer Search is working to ensure that students can fulfill their potential in school, work, and life.
About us
Summer Search believes young people should have the opportunity to fulfill their potential, regardless of their circumstances. Young people across the nation possess unique strengths, resilience, and tremendous potential, yet many face systemic inequities that can limit their potential. As a result, their ability to obtain postsecondary degrees, participate in the workforce, or gain financial stability is often stifled. Since 1990, we have partnered with high schools, community-based organizations, families, and supporters to provide opportunities for high school students from low-income communities to overcome systemic inequities through mentoring and transformative experiences. OUR ALUMNI ARE 3 TIMES MORE LIKELY to graduate with a 4-year degree than their peers and become the kind of leaders our country needs—civic leaders, advocates, industry leaders, teachers, mothers, and fathers. Their collective leadership ripples across the community, future generations, and contributes to a more equitable society.
