My Nonprofit Reviews

When I moved into the realm of education, I knew that incorporating connections to the environment was essential, regardless of what "subject" the students were learning. Finding ways to cover the standards and skills while still educating students about how to be stewards of the natural world could be challenging when not given to you in the district curriculum. Then I found ANJEE. I still remember attending my first Conference in 2009 and feeling like I had stepped into my utopia. The collective energy of the individuals was unlike anything I had every experienced at a conference of 250 people or more people. Learning, discovering, sharing, laughing, and connecting are just a few of the words that come to mind when I think of all of the friends and members that interact with ANJEE. Retreats, conferences, Zoom forums, free resources on the website... whatever it takes to reach each other and enhance environmental education in New Jersey and throughout the country - this amazing organization has been at it for 35 years and is interwoven into the fabric of developing environmentally literate citizens. The partnerships and projects continue to grow and making sure this organization is around for at least another 35 years will only make New Jersey more equipped for protecting our beautiful state for generations to come.
