AWS Education programming extends well beyond the classroom. Our out of school programming connects youth to hands-on experiences rooted in Anacostia Watershed restoration and stewardship. Our two flagship out of school programs for youth are our Saturday Environmental Academy and our Summer River Explorers Program.
These programs engage youth in watershed restoration and recreation activities with AWS such as canoeing, tree planting, and community trash clean ups, as well as environmental stewardship and exploration with local watershed partners.
