Urban Adventure Squad (UAS) is a Washington, D.C.-based 501(c)(3) non-profit education organization. We support schools and communities with neighborhood-based, hands-on learning programs that focus on the outdoors and use the city as a classroom. We partner with schools, other non-profit organizations, and community groups to connect students to their neighborhoods with cross-curricular, standards-aligned activities relating to science, history, math, art, engineering, and writing, and to train teachers in outdoor learning. We also offer full-day programs during out-of-school time, like on professional development days and federal holidays, as well as during school breaks.

SQUAD STORYMAP. Isabel Liu, a junior at Georgetown University, selected Urban Adventure Squad as the organization she would focus on for her Media and Social Justice class last semester. Isabel immersed herself in equitable outdoor learning by interviewing our team, talking to Squad families, and joining us at our partner schools to see what curriculum-aligned outdoor learning looks like during the school day. You can see her thoughtful, comprehensive final project here: Link to StoryMap.
