ABOUT THE RIEEA SUMMIT SERIES

Each year, RIEEA hosts a Summit to bring together engaged communities throughout the state and from across various sectors. Nonformal educators, classroom teachers, university/college faculty and staff, students, environmental justice advocates, as well as representatives in the health, business, agricultural, and science fields, meet to build networks, gather resources, share best practices, and cultivate leadership skills for widespread environmental literacy adoption and implementation.

Our 2025 summit, Empowering Voices: Youth Leadership for a Sustainable Future, will take place on March 15, 2025, at Rhode Island College. Stay tuned for more details! You can learn more about our past summits at the links below.
