Idaho Environmental Education Association

The Idaho Environmental Education Association is dedicated to the advancement of environmental education in Idaho. We support and promote the activities of all educators working to clarify our understanding of the natural world and our role in it, serving as a network for EE Educators across the State of Idaho.

We are a completely volunteer-run organization committed to supporting EE across the entire state. Our current programs include co-sponsoring an annual STEM conference for Idaho teachers, distributing a monthly newsletter, sharing resources via our website and blog, and recognizing excellent instructors with an annual award. We have facilitated the creation of a new place-based climate curriculum for Idaho, and are fiscally supporting local youth-led climate action projects. In the past, we have also hosted a book group and awarded mini-grants to educators for their projects. We partner with local, state, and national groups whenever possible to expand our reach and impact.
