Indy Summer Learning Labs (ISLL) serves students who can benefit from continued summer instruction and enrichment activities to drive increased math and reading achievement. ISLL sites receive funding to offer enrichment activities such as field trips, STEM clubs, athletics, cooking, and arts. The program is a program of The Mind Trust and is powered by The Mind Trust, an Indianapolis-based education nonprofit dedicated to empowering students and transforming education outcomes across the community.
Indy Summer Learning Labs was launched in 2021 by The Mind Trust and The United Way of Central Indiana as a response to significant learning loss caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Summer Learning Labs served more than 12,000 students in summer 2025, with participating students seeing a 25 percentage point learning gain in reading and a 24 percentage point learning gain in math. In that summer, Summer Learning Labs served students at 144 locations across 37 cities in Indiana.
Community partners work alongside districts and schools to offer Indy Summer Learning Labs, and this collaborative initiative brings together schools and community organizations to address the needs of families and students in Marion County. The leadership team includes Jazmin Sanders (Senior Director of Innovative Learning, The Mind Trust), Ricky Ganaishlal (Manager of Operations, Summer Learning Labs), A'Mya Springer (Manager of School Supports and Summer Programming), Madeline Poulakidas (Senior Director of Finance and Operations, The Mind Trust), Dani Neal (Director of Operations, The Mind Trust), and Alexis Dunlop (Manager of Operations, The Mind Trust).
