Through continuous outreach and expansion of our Community Partner network, 65 local organizations supported Summer 2025. And we’re not stopping there. New partners have since joined us, strengthening the impact we’re able to provide for students!

Now in their third year, the Grace Church volunteers continue to inspire a love for reading and connection that bridges generations, proving that the simplest acts of kindness can have the most lasting impact.

Spring Forward/RIMSD’s Fall Intersession programs were a tremendous success, with more than 100 students participating in new and creative opportunities designed to help scholars explore new interests, talents and skills.

Spring Forward is proud to continue our partnership with the Rock Island-Milan School District, delivering After School Programs at six elementary schools — as well as partnering with Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center to provide Teachers and academic instruction at their after-school programs.
