Community-based sites
Indy Summer Learning Labs partners with community-based organizations like churches, community centers, and daycares to offer summer programming in their facilities. These organizations receive funding, hiring instructional staff, instructional staff training, and more to provide students with a high-quality ISLL program.

Community-Based Site Requirements
To be an Indy Summer Learning Lab site, schools must adhere to the following requirements. ISLL sites will receive financial, technical, and logistical support from The Mind Trust staff to conduct programming.
The Mind Trust does not employ individuals at any program site locations, and its funding support does not create an employment relationship between the Mind Trust and a site location’s employees, contractors, interns, or volunteers. The Mind Trust also does not contract with vendors at any site location; any agreements are between vendors and the individual sites.
For questions about site requirements, please email us.
More information
How were the summer programming dates determined? Are they flexible?
Dates for 2026 are coming soon. They were chosen to accommodate the academic component of the day and the schedules of most schools in Indianapolis. While some sites may extend beyond the five weeks, the official Summer Learning Lab schedule is not flexible.
We have academic programming we are really proud of, yet we also like some of the offerings of the Indy Summer Learning Labs. Can we still join?
All ISLL sites are required to use the Lavinia RISE math and reading curriculum. Please reach out to us with any questions and to learn more about becoming a site.
