K-12 Education

As a leader in lifelong environmental learning, the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF) is dedicated to cultivating an environmentally conscious and responsible public through environmental education programs and initiatives.  At NEEF, we believe there is much to learn from observing and engaging with the natural world. Our work is guided by our Greening STEM approach, which embraces hands-on, place-based education as a key to better learning outcomes and a deeper sense of environmental stewardship. 

We offer support to educators through:

• Demonstration projects: On-the-ground projects to help educators adapt and implement Greening STEM into their curriculum with documented student outcomes.
• Greening STEM Hub: An online collection of case studies, research, and tools to help educators implement the Greening STEM approach.
• National Environmental Education Week (EE Week): The nation's largest celebration of Environmental Education. Each year, we feature EE success stories, interview prominent personalities, and highlight different learning themes with specialized resources and toolkits for educators.

You can also find additional information and resources designed to help you integrate environmental education into your classroom.  If you have other questions or are interested in collaborating, please contact our team.
