About CEEIN
The California Environmental Education Interagency Network (CEEIN) is a state
government consortium of environmental educators representing departments, boards,
and commissions of the California Department of Education, California Environmental
Protection Agency, The Resources Agency of California, UC Agriculture and Natural
Resources, and the California Department of Food and Agriculture. Since 1994, CEEIN
has fostered broad understanding of the State's
environmental and cultural resources while affirming that education is essential to
the development of understanding and respect for the environment. The CEEIN partnership
provides a forum for its members to share resources, programs, and materials with
California's public schools and students in kindergarten through university. The California Coastal Commission's Public Education Program hosts the CEEIN
website as one of its responsibilities of the partnership. The site has previously
been hosted by the California Environmental Protection Agency and the California Department of Education.
CEEIN maintains an online calendar of workshops, conferences, grants,
and other events and opportunities related to environmental education and environmental literacy.
Event hosts can submit their items to be included in the calendar.
CEEIN members and partners meet at 9:30am on the third Thursday of the month (except August and
December) to discuss and share information about national and statewide environmental education efforts.
These monthly meetings allow participants to network with their counterparts at the other boards, departments,
and commissions on a regular basis. Discussions enable the various participants to rapidly exchange
information and increase the breadth of information dissemination. Please
contact us if you're interested in learning more or attending a meeting.
Please note that this webpage can be quickly accessed via the shortcut ceein.org.
