Inspiring Young People to Make a Difference July 16 23, 2015 What Inspiring young people to make a difference July 16 ­ 23, 2015 What does it mean to be an engaged citizen? What are the different ways that each of us can make a difference in our respective communities? The Urban Squash Citizenship Tour will give 22 civically­minded and academically­accomplished high school and college students from across the country the opportunity to explore these questions during an 8­day trip that will begin in New York City and end in Washington, DC. Stops will include Philadelphia and Baltimore. The Citizenship Tour seeks to inspire students across the country to be civically engaged, to become informed citizens and to highlight the importance of public service within the country’s 17 urban squash programs. The trip will focus on the topic of c​ivil rights ​and its role in shaping our nation’s identity, politics, and history. During the trip, students will spend time with leaders in government, journalism, education, policy and the nonprofit community; visit sites that have played a part in American history; engage with local urban squash programs; exercise and practice at university and urban squash facilities; and promote NUSEA’s local member programs and urban squash generally.

We strive to achieve our mission in three main ways: ● Helping to launch new urban squash programs ● Supporting urban squash programs by identifying best practices, creating forums to share ideas, and providing grants and other financial support ● Organizing urban squash tournaments, camps and other events that promote learning, health, integrity, and the pursuit of excellence NUSEA has 17 member programs in 17 U.S. cities that enroll year­round more than 1,500 elementary, middle, high school and college students. These nonprofit organizations provide intensive after­school, weekend and summer programming that includes academics, squash, mentoring, community service, college placement and more. In order to become, and remain, a member of NUSEA, programs are required to meet a range of criteria which demonstrate that they are organizationally sound and that they provide their students with intensive, year­round support. NUSEA does not control or manage our member programs. NUSEA’s role is to provide a framework in which ideas can be shared and best practices identified. NUSEA leads and supports member programs through our collective expertise and leverage our role as a national organization to organize tournaments and camps across the country, raise funds for member programs, and help start new programs in cities that do not have them.

    Urban Squash Citizenship Tour Boston, Connecticut, Jersey Shore, Philadelphia, Washington, DC July 15-23 Citizenship Tour For 22 high school and college squash players from Harlem, Roxbury, South Chicago, and similar communities throughout the United States, the Urban Squash Citizenship Tour will be a 9-day athletic and intellectual journey from Boston to Washington, DC with stops in Connecticut, New York City, the Jersey Shore, and Philadelphia. The students, who have been selected from the country’s 15 urban squash programs, will play squash, visit landmarks of American history, and meet with individuals in government, journalism, education and the nonprofit community. Among other highlights, students will meet UN Ambassador Samantha Power, Representative John Lewis of Georgia, and Environmental Defense Fund CEO Fredd Krupp. They will also play squash with Governor of Massachusetts Deval Patrick in Boston and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York in Washington, DC. The group will visit Walden Pond, sleep in dorms at Harvard University, walk the Freedom Trail in Boston, and tour the United Nations and New York Times Building in New York City and the U.S. Capitol and the White House in Washington, DC. Squash Squash was founded in the 1860s at the Harrow School, a private boarding school in England. Twenty years later the first court was built in the United States at the St. Paul’s School in Concord, New Hampshire. The game is played in 180 countries by more than 10 million people, and the countries where it is most popular include England, Australia, Malaysia, and Egypt. For most of its history in the United States, the sport has been played primarily at independent schools, Northeastern universities, and private clubs.
