SUMM 2 Go Kit Assembly Volunteer Night
Spend an evening at the SUMM office helping clean manipulatives, organize materials, and assemble SUMM 2 Go kits!
SUMM 2 Go kits are portable math exploration kits designed for educational communities such as libraries, schools, and homeschool groups, providing everything they need to offer joyful, hands-on math experiences. Each kit includes accessible materials, simple activity guides, and open-ended puzzles that spark curiosity, build confidence, and encourage playful problem-solving. Thanks to a recent grant, SUMM is able to create and send these kits at no cost to communities where we aren’t able to offer in-person programs.
During this event, you’ll work alongside SUMM educators to help prep, sort, and assemble materials for kits that will go directly into the hands of learners across Washington. It’s a fun, relaxed way to support SUMM’s mission, and every completed kit makes a real difference.
Whether you enjoy organizing, crafting, or simply pitching in wherever help is needed, we have a spot for you. We hope you’ll join us!
