Summer Search is working to ensure that students can fulfill their potential in school, work, and life.
About us
Summer Search believes young people should have the opportunity to fulfill their potential, regardless of their circumstances. Young people across the nation possess unique strengths, resilience, and tremendous potential, yet many face systemic inequities that can limit their potential. As a result, their ability to obtain postsecondary degrees, participate in the workforce, or gain financial stability is often stifled. Since 1990, we have partnered with high schools, community-based organizations, families, and supporters to provide opportunities for high school students from low-income communities to overcome systemic inequities through mentoring and transformative experiences. OUR ALUMNI ARE 3 TIMES MORE LIKELY to graduate with a 4-year degree than their peers and become the kind of leaders our country needs—civic leaders, advocates, industry leaders, teachers, mothers, and fathers. Their collective leadership ripples across the community, future generations, and contributes to a more equitable society.

Our summer experience partners are critical to Summer Search’s success and Global Glimpse gives our participants the opportunity to travel abroad and become global citizens. So grateful for the time with Eliza Pesuit in New York ❤️
When I’m on the road for Global Glimpse I’m usually building new relationships and explaining the world of social impact to private sector leaders. I LOVE this work and at the same time I crave connecting with people that really understand the nonprofit sector. What a breath of fresh air to spend time with the amazing Ursulina Ramirez, CEO of Summer Search yesterday in NYC! We talked about business travel and motherhood, leadership and teambuilding, strategic planning and fundraising. Truly the full scope of nonprofit leadership. Talk about women empowering women! Summer Search is our strongest program partner at Global Glimpse and one of my favorite organizations in the experiential learning space. Since 2011, over 700 of their students have traveled on Global Glimpse programs. Our missions are powerfully aligned and our strengths complementary. We’ve been opening a world of opportunities to young people for more than a decade and I believe we’re just beginning to envision what is possible in this partnership! More to come, here’s to strategic collaboration and innovation in the nonprofit sector!
