Welcome!
Welcome to the Environmental Education Alliance (EEA) of Georgia's website! EEA was established in 1990 to serve as a professional education and networking association for environmental educators throughout Georgia. Our vision, for Georgia citizens to understand the relationships between natural and social systems and take responsible actions for a healthy and sustainable environment, is as important to us today as it was then. EEA's dedicated members are continuously striving to instill in their students a love of and respect for our natural world.

By providing educators with support, resources, and professional development opportunities, EEA is helping to develop a more environmentally literate citizenry in Georgia. Please join us and start receiving the benefits of membership.
