Summer break looks very different for students this year in Santa Cruz County, and has parents, guardians, and students themselves searching for engaging ways to spend their time. COVID-19 has challenged us with finding creative solutions to education and building community, which is why the Santa Cruz County School Superintendent's Office is proud to sponsor youth participation in innovative programming for aspiring young entrepreneurs, creatives, and problem solvers.
Now, more than ever, we need innovative solutions and new ways of providing engaging opportunities for our future leaders in Santa Cruz County.
“The Santa Cruz County School Superintendent’s Office is excited to collaborate with Startup Unidos on two virtual summer camps for our youth. During this difficult time, students can immerse themselves in these innovative programs that will stir their curiosity about becoming future business leaders.” ~Mr. Alfredo I. Velasquez, SCCSSO
