You care about the wellbeing of kids. You believe in the power of education. You are looking for ways to make an impact on the health of our communities and the sustainability of our natural environment.
Children. Education. Sustainability.
FIELD Edventures works on all these pressing issues by connecting with educators to explore the outdoors, foster inquiry, and engage students through discovery. Help us engage the rock-skipping, frog-catching spirit that lives in each of us.
Here are 5 ways you can help:
Join Our Community
Become a part of our online community and share your knowledge, ask questions, and connect with educators working to engage the rock-skipping, frog-catching spirit! Perhaps you are not an educator in the formal sense but an outdoor learning enthusiast—join us! You have experience and expertise to contribute!
Make a Donation
Support our mission with a one-time or recurring financial contribution to become a "Friend of FIELD Edventures." Your donation at any level contributes to the wellbeing of children, the transformation of education, and society’s movement towards a more sustainable future by providing for the continued success and growth of FIELD Edventures.
Read and Shop with Us
As educators, we often find ourselves referring to books that inspire and transform our practice. You can find links to many of the books we recommend in our bookshop and in our articles. Purchases made from our bookshop support both independent bookstores and FIELD Edventures at no extra cost to you. You can also shop at Amazon Smile and support FIELD Edventures.
Donate Time and Talents
FIELD Edventures depends on educators, volunteers, contractors, and partners to fulfill our mission. Some volunteers donate time to keep up the EEK! Environmental Education for Kids website. Other partners donate content for websites and professional learning. Several educators write for us. Contact us to share your time and talents!
