Join Us!
The climate emergency is real.
Connect with COEEA and turn anxiety into action.
​
We are offering free membership at the individual level for anyone who is enthusiastic about outdoor education, passionate about environmental literacy, or concerned for the future of all living beings who call Connecticut home.
​
As a collective of environmental education professionals, classroom teachers, civic leaders, youth activists, decision makers, advocates, nature centers, and other like-minded folks and organizations throughout the state, we can advance policy, practice and equity in environmental learning.
​
To forge a stronger coalition that's more accessible to everyone, the COEEA Board of Directors decided to remove all individual level membership fees. Donations are always welcome and will help us fulfill our mission. Do you have time and energy to share? Consider volunteering with one of our action teams (see details below).

Action Teams
Action Teams are aligned with specific COEEA initiatives, such as Awards, CT Green LEAF Schools, Conference, Mini-Grants, etc. Each team sets its own agenda to work towards a goal or project, so the responsibilities vary from team to team. Action Teams meet independently of Board meetings, and can include both Board and regular COEEA members.
