Do not let summer end without a plan.
Before the school year gets busy, students can take time to organize their next steps.
A simple action plan can include:
Marking application deadlines
Planning campus visits or information sessions
Choosing August through December priorities
Identifying scholarships or programs to apply for
Asking for support when needed
Small steps now can lead to bigger results later.
Operation Blue Heart helps students move from purpose to opportunity through preparation, guidance, and access to resources.

Summer is a great time for students to gain real experience.
Experience does not always have to come from a formal internship. Students can grow through volunteering, part-time jobs, community service, leadership roles, small projects, tutoring, or helping with local organizations.
These experiences build confidence, responsibility, and stories students can later use in applications, interviews, and scholarship essays.
Encourage your student to find one meaningful way to grow this summer.
Experience builds confidence.

Summer is a great time for students to begin building a simple student resume.
A student resume does not have to be complicated. It can include activities, leadership, volunteer work, part-time jobs, awards, projects, and skills.
This helps students prepare for scholarships, college applications, internships, job opportunities, and future programs.
Encourage your student to start now by writing down what they have done and what they are becoming.
Start now so applications feel easier later.

ummer is here, and it is a great time for families to talk about what comes next.
Post-secondary readiness does not only mean college. It can include trade school, certificate programs, apprenticeships, scholarships, career planning, volunteering, and leadership opportunities.
Parents and families can help students use summer with purpose by starting simple conversations:
What are your goals?
What options are you curious about?
What do you want to be ready for by the end of summer?
Small conversations now can shape big futures.
Follow Operation Blue Heart for more summer readiness resources and student opportunity guidance.
