Affiliate leaders are needed to help inform a new Affiliate Fund at NAAEE. We anticipate engaging approximately 8 individuals, including Affiliate leaders to advise the design of an RFP and serve as reviewers for funding requests.
NAAEE is looking to contract with an enthusiastic and detail-oriented individual to provide support for the Coalition for Climate Education Policy. The estimated time commitment is 10 hours per week through December 2022, with the possibility of an extension. This is a remote position, with a preference for someone in the DC area.
NAAEE endorses the No Child Left Inside Act of 2022, introduced into the House and Senate on April 7, and calls on the environmental education community to rally around this groundbreaking legislation.
NAAEE will host a week of outreach and advocacy in support of federal funding for EE in the federal fiscal year 2023 budget. We will also promote key legislation to advance EE and climate literacy.
Thanks for funding from ee360, NAAEE is offering Affiliate leaders opportunities to participate in professional learning and secure grant funds for projects that strengthen individual Affiliates and the Affiliate Network.

Here’s the latest on what we know and what we don’t when it comes to how environmental education is faring in the fiscal year 2022 budget and in the two-track approach to infrastructure investments.
