I am interested in the use of digital media and persuasive technology in environmental education.

I am a graduate student at UNCW and am focusing on Environmental Education and Interpretation. I will also be working towards a Master's in the Arts of Teaching at the middle grades level. I am an environmental education enthusiast committed to helping people connect with the natural world in meaningful, accessible ways. I love going to the beach, surfing, and just being outdoors. 

I have always loved kids, I had a child-based conservation group when my children were little, and even though I didn't realize that was environmental education, I realize that I have been an environmental educator a lot longer than my hire date.

 I am a single mother who was a stay at home parent for over 10 years. I have always loved being outside and being around children. So finding a job where I can do both is a dream come true! After being hired while on a field trip with my daughter at Agape, I have dedicated every spare minute of my time learning everything I can about the North Carolina ecosystem and the best way to teach others about how amazing this planet is!

I had no idea that this fun job could become a career, but here I am, 6 years later, certitfied outdoor educator, working for Agape and Raleigh Parks ,teaching kids ( and their chaperones) how cool bugs are! How amazing birds are! How perfectly everything fits together and how lucky we are to be a part of it!

There is no better feeling than seeing a child hold a snake for the first time, or having a teenager who doesn't want to be there get all excited about catching a fishing spider. It fills my heart being able to share my passion with others.

 

 

I am a homeschool teacher in California looking to incorporate more ideas from environmental education into my lesson planning.

Am a conservation storyteller and envoronmental advocate in Nyeri, Kenya and founder of Together4trees Kenya- a community based organisation focused on School Greening, community tree planting, and forest restoration.

Focus on community-based education about the environment, and changing behaviors related to natural resources. Served as Executive Director of NAAEE, 2001-03; NAAEE President, 2001; Board of Directors: 1991-1993, 1994-1996; Committees: Membership (chair), Publicity, Conference, Research.

I grew up in Western North Carolina where I learned to love the outdoors through adventures with my family. I have always  been torn between the ocean and the mountains. My interests are wide, including snorkling and scuba diving to rock climbing and mountain biking to doodling personalized cards for friends. Environmentalism and sustainability are passions of mine that I try to share with all those around me, whether its on a hike explaining why we should stay on trail or teaching a class about Leave No Trace and recyling practices. The outdoors is where I thrive and I want to share this love and meaning with people.

I'm a freshman in college studying to be a teacher I'm part of the stunt team and love hanging with my friends

Samintang is an environmental advocate with experience in multi-stakeholder projects and participatory research. Growing up in East Luwu, the world’s third-largest nickel-producing region, she saw firsthand how extraction and inequality affected local communities and the environment. These experiences inspired her to co-create Climate Catalysts Indonesia (CCI), a youth-led organization that seeks to support climate-vulnerable communities through environmental education, citizen science, and dialogues on the resacralization of nature. Through CCI, she works alongside local communities to foster ecological awareness, share knowledge, and explore practical ways to care for both people and the natural world.

I am currently a graduate student at UNCW pursuing my MS in Environmental Science and MAT in Middle Grades Education. My background is in biology with a concentration in microbio and marine science, as well as in experiential education primarily through rock climbing and other adventure-ed programs.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in philosophy and history of science and mathematics and a Master of Science in marine science. For over 25 years my work has focused on building ocean literacy, environmental literacy, and science literacy among K-12 and informal education audiences to build community resilience to climate change and public support for a healthy, thriving ocean.
