Outdoor Education
Spending quality time outdoors has proven health, social-emotional, and academic benefits. Yet barriers prevent all youth from having equal access to outdoors experiences.
Frick United has partnered with Oakland Goes Outdoors (OGO) to ensure that all students are guaranteed at least 2 outdoor grade-level field trips per year.
Additionally, OGO helps us organize academic field trips as well as incentive field trips to reward students for excellence in academics, attendance, and citizenship.
In the 2024-2025 school year, Frick United Students attended 27 Field Trips supporting their academic, social and emotional wellbeing.
