There’s nothing quite like the energy and excitement of a Summer Institute General Session! You’ll hear from AVID leaders and alumni, with incredible stories of educator and student agency, and leave feeling recharged and motivated.

More than 400,000 educators have already participated in Summer Institute, and most describe the experience as “finding their people” or “coming home to family.” At Summer Institute, you’ll be surrounded by passionate, engaged educators and district leaders who want to bring out the best in their students and communities.

We know that Site Teams often attend Summer Institute together. That’s why we build time into the schedule for your Site Team to meet and apply your new resources and learnings. Your Site Team will leave the three-day experience feeling rejuvenated, excited, and ready to tackle the new school year.

Of course, AVID events aren’t AVID events without the music, the dancing, the laughter, and the JOY that our community brings to this work. Whether you’re grabbing coffee with a new friend at the hotel or meeting coworkers for an optional pre-session, you’ll have fun doing it with your AVID family.
