Summer Pilot 2023 Launch!

Five programs have been identified to offer pilot-funded summer programs this summer (July and August 2023). The summer pilots are off to a great start despite the fast timeline. A big thank you to this summer’s programs!

ESD 101’s Next Generation Zone Open Doors Youth Reengagement Program
ESD 113’s Gravity Open Doors Youth Reengagement Program
ESD 105’s Open Doors Youth Reengagement Program
Seattle Interagency School’s Orion and Columbia Center Open Doors Youth Reengagement Program
Coupeville School District’s Open Den Youth Reengagement Program

Next summer, up to 12 Open Doors Youth Reengagement programs will participate in the legislatively-funded summer pilot project. Selection will be based on program engagement of students who have ever previously been in detention or incarcerated. Our focus is to improve services to post-resident youth and to evaluate the cost and outcomes related to funding access to summer programming.
