VAEE empowers educators across Virginia with the tools they need to provide equitable and inclusive environmental education. We do this through our certification program, professional development, community engagement, our annual conference and awards. Our members represent various sectors to include school districts, local government, universities, and more.

We know that environmental education has positive impacts to include:

Increased positive mental health
Increased academic engagement and performance
Supports physical fitness
Food security
Improved health systems
Contributes to a vibrant economy
Historical and cultural connections
Sustainability

Join us in our this Giving Tuesday Campaign as we work to build systems across the state that will empower educators and children to foster a healthy Virginia for years to come.

During our final phase of our annual campaign we are requesting support for our upcoming conference. We believe that all educators and supporters of EE that desire to attend the conference should be able to, even if they may be underresourced at the time. Essentially, it is our goal to ensure that the conference is accessible. While some attendees may be able to cover the costs through their employer, this is not the case for all.

Consider giving to VAEE so we can provide access to educational opportunities to our educators working with children and communities across the Commonwealth.
