Indy Summer Learning Labs (ISLL) is not just a program—it’s a collaborative initiative driven by The Mind Trust, schools, and community-based organizations dedicated to empowering students across Indianapolis.

With a mission to enhance academic achievement through engaging summer instruction and enrichment activities, ISLL has become an opportunity for students yearning to learn and grow outside the traditional school year.

Now entering its fourth year, ISLL is gearing up for another transformative summer experience, spanning from June 17 to July 19.

Across Marion County, more than 45 locations will open their doors to eager learners, providing a dynamic blend of education and enrichment to fuel academic progress and foster a love for learning.

The hallmark of ISLL lies in its comprehensive approach, offering a diverse range of instructional programs and enrichment activities tailored to meet the unique needs and interests of students.

From literacy and math instruction to STEM projects, arts and crafts, and outdoor exploration, there’s something for every learner to discover and enjoy.

But ISLL isn’t just about academics—it’s about building connections, fostering creativity, and nurturing personal growth.

Through hands-on experiences, collaborative projects, and meaningful interactions with peers and mentors, students develop essential skills and confidence that extend far beyond the classroom.

For educators passionate about making a difference in the lives of young learners, ISLL presents a unique opportunity to be part of something truly impactful.

The program is currently seeking dedicated educators to join their team, with hiring decisions being made by April 1 and ongoing on a rolling basis.
