Virtual Meetings Hosted by Program Leaders and Staff Across California!
The virtual EE Provider Professional Learning Community sessions bring program leaders from environmental education organizations together to engage in collaborative learning and build capacity. Join colleagues from around the state to share resources, explore best practices, and build connections to strengthen our respective organizations and increase our collective impact.
Our Professional Learning Community is intended to be a space where participants will contribute to and engage in shared learning through discussion, presentations, and exploration of resources relevant to our sector. Attending multiple sessions will help you to develop and build long-lasting connections with colleagues in a wide range of EE provider settings around the state. Join us!
