What Participants Are Saying . . .

This was the most thorough training I have ever received with so much additional documentation and support from Earth Force. It was so amazing!

I have recommended this training and process to anyone who will listen! I cannot wait to use Environmental Action Civics in my programs.

Excellent scheduling! Excellent facilitators! Please offer more training!

I enjoy being able to join event virtually as it makes it easier to participate. It was also great to meet and hear stories from others that are teaching around the country rather than just in my local area.

So appreciative of the wholesome support of this training and the Earth Force team. I am eager to put Environmental Action Civics into practice!

FAQs

Live Virtual Sessions: June 15th, 21st, and 26th. Reach out for more details.

Who should attend?

Are you part of the team at an environmental education organization? This is for you.

What's the structure?

The Workshop is virtual, with a combination of synchronous and asynchronous learning and lots of discussion. We've been working virtually since 2010 - and we've developed a sense of how to build community even through screens! One participant said "Earth Force staff showed off some stellar virtual facilitation techniques that as a fellow facilitator I will definitely be putting into action!"

Is funding available?

Yes! This work - changing how we teach this field - takes time, money, and support. We'll help you with all three. The Workshop is $250 to attend but the fee is waived thanks to a generous grant from ee360+. And, $500 training stipends may be available to those who complete an action plan by October 1st.

Is this another boring conference?

Little known fact: we're allergic to boring professional development here at Earth Force. We think we've cracked the code into hosting a collaborative, invigorating, and actually useful virtual event. As one 2022 participant put it, "This workshop was well organized and informative. I was given so many ideas, information, and helpful tips that I cannot wait to implement into my curriculum."
