Call for Fair Participants: KIPP Summer of Learning Fair

On Wednesday, March 16, KIPP Philadelphia Schools (KPS) will be hosting a Summer of Learning (SOL) Fair for students at our high school, KIPP DuBois Collegiate Academy.

The purpose of the event will be to expose our high school students to outside-of-school opportunities – everything from summer internships and jobs to volunteer opportunities to camps. Any organization that serves high school-aged youth is welcome to attend.

If you work for an organization that serves high school students, we’d love to have you represented at the fair. We just ask that organizations that are interested in attending RSVP using this brief form.
