Plan for Summer Learning with Expanded Learning Collective’s Bilingual Program Directory

Expand​edLearn​ingJH​.org allows users to search and fil­ter out-of-school pro­grams by date range, pro­gram con­tent, child’s age, schol­ar­ship avail­abil­i­ty and more. Hun­dreds of weeks of sum­mer pro­grams are already list­ed, and more will be added as they’re announced, includ­ing after­school pro­grams for fall 2026 and beyond.

“Teton Coun­ty offers a wide range of out-of-school learn­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties, but they can be dif­fi­cult for fam­i­lies to nav­i­gate,” said Lau­rie Andrews, Pres­i­dent of the Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion of Jack­son Hole. ​“The Expand­ed Learn­ing Collective’s pro­gram direc­to­ry helps stream­line that process, mak­ing it eas­i­er for fam­i­lies to find pro­grams that sup­port their children’s learn­ing, inter­ests, and development.”

As par­ents and care­givers know, find­ing the right pro­gram is only half of the bat­tle. Get­ting enrolled can be even more dif­fi­cult. The Expand­ed Learn­ing Col­lec­tive and its mem­ber orga­ni­za­tions are also work­ing to improve edu­ca­tion­al access through lot­tery sys­tems, improv­ing lan­guage access and rais­ing aware­ness of schol­ar­ship oppor­tu­ni­ties for sum­mer and after­school pro­gram­ming. The Expand­ed Learn­ing Col­lec­tive believes that uni­ver­sal access to out-of-school learn­ing has the pow­er to help close the edu­ca­tion­al oppor­tu­ni­ty gap and sup­port the suc­cess and ful­fill­ment of youth in Teton Coun­ty. As a col­lec­tive of edu­ca­tion orga­ni­za­tions and com­mu­ni­ty lead­ers, each orga­ni­za­tion brings unique skills and per­spec­tives to col­lab­o­ra­tive­ly address the needs of our com­mu­ni­ty that no one per­son or orga­ni­za­tion can meet on their own. Togeth­er we work to address bar­ri­ers to access, sup­port edu­ca­tor recruit­ment and reten­tion, and build stronger rela­tion­ships between providers and their constituents.
