WRPA (The Washington Recreation & Park Association) and the AWC (the Association of Washington Cities) are excited to announce the rollout of a new Washington State grant program that will provide local parks and recreation agencies with funding for youth-focused summer programming.

The newly created, Summer Experiences & Enrichment for Kids (SEEK) Grant has been made possible by federal COVID-19 relief funds given to the Washington Office of the Superintendent for Public Instruction (OSPI). This program seeks to help local agencies expand their summer education programs with the goal of providing more kids with access to outdoor learning opportunities. Application period opening soon!!!
