We hope you will continue to support us as we pursue our mission through ongoing programs, like the programs listed below, to meaningfully engage future generations in outdoor learning. Please consider making a donation so we can continue to support our members and affiliates, and offer scholarships, grants, and other opportunities to get future generations outside. Your tax-deductible contribution will advance the efforts of NYSOEA to connect people with the wide-open, boundless educational wonders of the great outdoors. 

​All donations, large and small, are greatly appreciated. Donations of $100 or more will be entered into
a raffle, and donations of $250 or more will receive a one-year complimentary NYSOEA membership.
Donations of $500 or more will receive complimentary registration for the 2025 NYSOEA conference.
  • Over 275 people from across the state attended our annual conference. With a great mix of workshops and speakers, our conference gave us the opportunity to engage with one another, network, build relationships, gain new skills, compare notes, and build resiliency for the future.
  • NYSOEA gave 28 scholarships this year to attend our annual conference and winter weekend.
  • NYSOEA is currently working with Sheila Webb-Halpern from Co-See Consulting Group to assist the association with strategic planning and preparing for its future. This has been a long-term goal of the association, and we look forward to sharing our strategic plan at the November conference.
  • In 2024 we started a new environmental studies scholarship award, which aims to support undergraduate students pursuing a major in environmental science or related fields. Three students were awarded $500 each to aid in their educational journeys. We are proud to invest in the future of STEAM leaders and look forward to continuing this initiative this year.
