Just weeks before school lets out, Governor Katie Hobbs is stopping a free summer program for students. However, another program will take its place. MORE ⬇️
About 70,000 Arizona school children went to summer camps for free last year because of Governor Doug Ducey’s AZ On Track Program. Many organizations took part in it, including the Boys and Girls Club of the Valley and the Valley of the Sun YMCAs.“It was really able to impact young people in a positive way during their out-of-school time,” said Heather Budzien, the vice president of programs and branches for the Boys and Girls Club of the Valley.
A Hobbs spokesperson told ABC15 the On Track Program was a one-time opportunity done by the previous administration, despite Ducey announcing it’d come back for the 2023 summer just months before leaving office. “We're designing our program as if we didn't get the funding, so it's going to be infusing the best practices we learned last year, continuing that in the program,” Cooper continued. “If we do get the funding, we’ll be able to reduce costs to no cost for participants and that’ll be a game changer for families who we know are really struggling with inflation, with grocery bills and day-to-day living costs.
