The Summer for All Act establishes a federal grant program to expand access to high-quality summer enrichment programs for youth ages 5 to 22, particularly targeting low-income, rural, and disadvantaged youth. The bill creates two main grant programs: Summer Enrichment Expansion Grants awarded to community organizations and colleges to operate direct summer programming, and Summer Programming State Grants awarded to states and tribes to develop sustainable partnerships and address gaps in summer program access. Eligible summer programs must operate at least five days per week for five weeks during summer months, provide free programming and meals to qualifying low-income youth, and include academic enrichment, social-emotional learning, health activities, mentoring, and career readiness. The bill authorizes $4 billion total for fiscal years 2027 through 2030, with at least $1 billion allocated annually thereafter, with roughly 47.5 percent directed to direct program grants, up to 47.5 percent to state planning grants, and up to 5 percent for research and data collection.
