To support students' continued learning this summer, Mayor Muriel Bowser has launched Learning Hubs for DC students. With support from Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) and District of Columbia Public Library (DCPL), Learning Hubs provide families in the District with safe spaces for their children to engage in supervised independent activities. These spaces will provide students with access to internet (and devices in some locations), and offer recommended independent activities based on age group and host site. DPR locations will include summer meal service. The DCPL locations will not include meal access, so students are encouraged to visit a summer meal location before attending.
The District’s first Learning Hubs will open the week of Monday, June 29. DPR Learning Hubs will serve students age 6 through 5th. DCPL Learning Hubs will serve rising 6th through 12th grade students. For all locations, families who sign up will secure a seat for their child week-by-week.
Registration for weekly cohorts will open every Monday at 9:00 AM for the next week. To sign up, please click here. Spaces are extremely limited and will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you have any additional questions regarding the DPR sites, please contact Russell Rogers (Russell.Rogers2@dc.gov). For the DCPL sites, please contact summerchallenge@dc.gov.
