2026 Albany Summer Collective

Big Things Are Happening Now

United Way of Southwest Georgia, in partnership with our Title Sponsor, City of Albany, is proud to launch the 2026 Albany Summer Collective: a citywide initiative connecting K–12 students to exciting, enriching, and engaging summer programs while supporting local nonprofits that serve our youth.

This is more than summer programming; it’s an opportunity for students to learn, grow, explore, and create lasting memories all summer long.
