Membership

Become a member of AEOE and join a community of individuals and organizations across the state committed to using environmental and outdoor education as a tool to create lasting environmental change.

AEOE is California’s primary professional association for environmental and outdoor education, working to strengthen environmental education in California. Read more about our mission and values here. At AEOE, we do a lot to keep you informed about issues that impact our sector and provide opportunities that can support your career. 

Being a dues-paying member doesn't just help AEOE keep the lights on; it's also an essential marker of our collective credibility that helps for working with decision makers and attracting funders to our cause. When we go visit decision makers in Sacramento, a key metric they care about is the number of people we represent. (That's part of why AEOE exists in the first place, to give us more collective power by joining the voices of different EE providers groups together.)

Right now, we have a few hundred dues paying members, but imagine if we had 1,000, or 10,000! That would give policymakers another metric for understanding how important outdoor and environmental education is, and give our sector more influence over decision makers.

Becoming a member of AEOE will provide you with the tools, resources, and connections to advance and flourish in the environmental and outdoor field. It costs less than a dinner out (for individuals) and has a host of benefits, in addition to contributing to our collective power and voice. We offer a variety of membership options for both individuals and organizations. Read more about membership benefits below and join us today!
