Although we can make changes in our own families and schools, we can also help bring nature-based education to more children by becoming effective advocates for children. We've gathered resources to help you connect with organizations, find innovative programs, locate advocacy groups in your state, and take action on your own.
Advocacy Tools
Find resources to help you take action on your own by talking with legislators, writing press releases, and more.
Natural Start Policy Partners
Connect with organizations that are taking action to reconnect children with nature, bring more environmental education to schools, and more.
State Connections
Connect with organizations working on the state level to connect children with nature, provide great early childhood education opportunities, and promote other actions that support early learners.
In every state, groups are working for change on behalf of young children. The following are groups that can help you connect with groups in your state.
- National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) State Affiliates
- North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE) State Affiliates
