When the final school bell rings, millions of students across Harris County will need a safe and educational environment to spend their days and avoid the summer learning gap. That’s where the partnership between CASE for Kids and Harris County Commissioners comes in! The division recently announced the 2025 County Connections Youth Summer Initiative grant awardees for nonprofits that offer youth summer enrichment programs and camps across the county.  

More than $1.4 million was awarded to more than 70 organizations that provide programming such as fine arts, robotics, sports and college readiness initiatives. The initiative disbursed grants ranging from $5,250 to $20,000 for programming scheduled for June-August 2025.  

Nonprofits from all four county precincts receive grants and services are tailored to meet the community’s needs. Funds are used to purchase materials and supplies for activities, add programming opportunities, reduce fees or offer scholarships to families. Funding for the initiative is provided by Harris County and administered to vetted programs by CASE for Kids.
