The North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE) is a US-based nonprofit organization. [2]

The organization was founded in 1971 in the U.S. as the National Association for Environmental Education [3] but now includes members from over 30 countries. [3] [4]

NAAEE and its 56 affiliate organizations [5] in the US, Canada, Mexico have over 20,000 members; [4] additional affiliates exist outside North America in Asia and Oceania. [6] These partners, many of whom operate at a state or provincial level, have their own conferences, publications, or other activities. [7] [8] [9] [10]

NAAEE holds its own annual conference, [11] supports teacher training in environmental education, [12] supports research demonstrating the impact of environmental education, [13] and produces a wide variety of publications, including Guidelines for Excellence [14] [15] in environmental education. [16]

The Natural Start Alliance, [17] a project of NAAEE, works to connect young children with nature. [18]
