First Summer School from Súmate Foundation-Hogar de Cristo.
Over 50 socially excluded youths/students, including some neighborhood adolescents, attended the first Summer School carried out on January 2020 at La Granja and Maipú Re-Entry Súmate Schools. Art, sport, juggling, and music were workshops offered. The program also did provide food for all the attendees.

“I got involved in all workshops, but the one I liked the most was music because it relaxes me a lot,” said Matías 13, in the meantime, he was getting ready for the next sport workshop.

In the same way, teacher Carlos Muñoz commented, “I felt a positive atmosphere of happiness among youths who attended the program”. And “I’d love in the next year if we could include more workshops”.

Most socially excluded youths have very scarce or no possibilities of recreational activities in the summer months. So, a Summer School brings them multiple positive impacts to work on their empowerment, boundaries and expectations, constructive use of time, achievement motivation, positive values, social competencies, and positive identity.
