Summer Strong

Big feelings don't take a summer break.

Summer Strong bridges the gap between the school year and summer break. We created this content to help students maintain connection, structure, and access to support during a season when routine often disappears and risk can increase. By ending the year with a proactive plan, Hope Squad Members are better prepared to protect their own well-being, notice warning signs early, and stay connected to trusted adults and resources all summer long.

This toolkit includes:

Age-appropriate Member lessons
Summer Strong Member plans
Summer Strong pledge
Resources for schoolwide use

Member Lesson

Summer Strong prepares Members for a safe and supported summer.

This lesson helps students plan for connection, manage big feelings, recognize concerns early, and identify trusted adults and resources before problems escalate. It reinforces that Hope Squad's trainings should continue through the summer and that safety is never a secret.
