About
Urban Action Academy uses themes of social justice to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and self-confidence needed to pursue college and professional careers in public service. Based on social issues they're passionate about, UAA students become public ambassadors and engage in local and broader community social action and change engagements. Woven into the fabric of our Regents-track academic program, students are continuously being prepared for the rigors of college, careers, and adult life. Students receive personalized support by teachers, counselors, school leaders, and CBO partners, and are provided with the requisite academics and various prep programs. Our academic program builds and strengthens our students' self-confidence by instilling a sense of civic-minded urgency in each student.
