Our “Get Out Of The House” Social Groups are fun, adventure-filled, real-life experience groups for middle and high schoolers, offered during the summer and on select school closure days throughout the school year. These groups focus on exploring Washington, DC, and surrounding areas while helping participants build essential life skills.

With 6 full weeks of summer programming, and options for single-day teacher workdays and student holidays, participants engage in activities like navigating public transportation, participating in team-building exercises, urban exploration, and developing social awareness and executive function skills. Using the Social Thinking Framework, we embed strategies for social and emotional growth throughout each experience.

From learning practical tools to making lasting friendships, our “Get Out Of The House” Social Groups are all about creating meaningful, hands-on learning opportunities while having a blast in the city!

10:00am-3:00pm EST with opportunities for before and after care/mentor hours for a small fee. 

Sarah P., our Director of Operations, along with another Social & Executive Function Coach from our team, will be leading groups each week. Our team has extensive background in teaching and working with neurodivergent teens and young adults. We are also excited to have our fabulous college and high school peer mentors and mentors-in-training join us as well! Our peer mentors have gone through our comprehensive peer mentor training.
