About the Program
At United Community Centers, we believe every child deserves a summer filled with opportunity. That’s why our 9-week Summer Literacy Adventures Program is designed to do more than just fill the days—it helps kids grow as readers, thinkers, and explorers.

With small-group reading support, interactive literacy centers, storytelling, and exciting local field trips to places like the Fort Worth Zoo and museums, children experience a summer that’s as educational as it is unforgettable.
