Environmental Education Alliance of Georgia

Environmental Education Alliance . . .

dedicated to realizing the vision of a world where every child grows up to be a problem-solver who is connected to nature, knowledgeable about the environment, and empowered to create a just and sustainable future

We’re raising funds for Environmental Education Alliance of Georgia (EEA). 

EEA works to ensure that all Georgia children have the opportunity to experience nature and make real world connections through outdoor learning, so they can be prepared to make sound decisions, inspired to innovate, and motivated to protect the planet.  

We approach this mission by increasing the capacity of ee providers, offering resources and training for educators, promoting best practices that drive excellence, leading policy efforts to ensure all Georgians have access to environmental and outdoor education, and encouraging collaboration and investment in the field.
