Maine Environmental Education Association

About Maine Environmental Education Association

MEEA is a statewide network that enhances and amplifies the efforts of individuals and organizations building environmental awareness, appreciation, understanding, and action in Maine. We are deeply committed to centering our work in equity.

MEEA hosts an annual conference, the largest gathering of Environmental Education and Outdoor Learning professionals in Maine and other trainings for educators throughout the year and runs a small grants program to support outdoor learning in public schools. We also host the Maine Environmental Changemakers Network which is a statewide network connecting diverse youth passionate about the environment and social justice to each other, mentors, training and support to lead equity centered environmental action in their schools and communities. We offer equity training, advocate at the state and federal level for environmental education, share resources, job postings and events across the state and participate in research and evaluation for the field.

MEEA is the state affiliate of the North American Association for Environmental Education where we bring cutting edge resources from the national level back to Maine to advance the sector.

We offer interpretation at events-trainings, transportation support to attend events-training, and sliding scale fees for trainings.
