5. School Nurses - registered nurses direct health services to scholars, parents/guardians and staff.

"If you have a desire to make a profound change in the lives of our children, share your enthusiasm as a Summer Advantage team member."

"Participation in quality summer learning programs annually makes a four-month difference in the learning achievements of children," says Earl Martin Phalen, Founder of Summer Advantage USA who was featured in TIME Magazine. Over the summer months, Summer Advantage scholars gain over 2 months of grade equivalent skills in mathematics, reading and writing; this gain is particularly important because children typically lose 2 months of skills during the summer.
