Meet the Team

  • Anna Graves

    EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR/CO-FOUNDER

    She/Her/Hers

    Anna Graves has used alternative and outdoor education as her platform to connect youth and adults with their community, themselves, and place for the last decade. She is based in Denver, Colorado. As a white, cis, female educator, she views her work as tapping into her roots, however buried, remembering that the etymology of the word radical is “of or having roots.” Anna is a believer in deep spontaneous joy, verbally processing (often), and distilling issues to their essence. She has her BA from Skidmore College and a Masters in Ed. Leadership from High Tech High Graduate School, New School Creation Fellowship.

  • Cory Olson

    CURRRICULUM DESIGNER

    He/Him/His

    Cory Olson is deeply interested in all things teaching and learning. Once something of a nomad, he has been based in Denver, CO for a while now. In the past he has worked as a teacher, instructional leader, and education researcher. His recent projects, though, have been primarily focused on learning design and how to best empower learners in school and beyond. Cory believes that education, when done well, can forge interpersonal bonds and strengthen community.
