SUMMER 2021: THANK YOU! We are indebted to everyone who helped make this summer happen, especially families who trusted us to care for and engage their children. We had our highest-ever number of middle schoolers this summer! We extend a huge shout out to UAS families, to students who attended our programs, to high school volunteers, to donors, and to our education partners, including: Anacostia Riverkeeper BranchOut Parks Casey Trees Friends of Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens Friends of the National Arboretum/Washington Youth Garden The Omni Shoreham Hotel Tregaron Conservancy Washington International School Without access to bathrooms, water, and emergency shelter, we would not have been able to run full-day outdoor programs. Learning and exploring outdoors is vital to our mental and physical wellbeing, and we couldn’t have done it without our community partners. We’re #StrongerTogether! Resources for home use
Our resources page includes information on where to get free meals, things to do at home, and walks and hikes where it may be easier to maintain distance from others to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Annual Report 2021 (just released to subscribers of the UAS Update; we'll post soon) Smile!
