Remember that *spark* you felt on your first outdoor adventure?

That spark mattered and changed you for good.  

Outdoor learning changes lives, but not everyone gets the chance. 

You believe that all kids deserve to discover Colorado's outdoors. 

And your love and support today means more kids will explore and thrive outside.

but rather engaged in everyday living – hands on, exploring, 
in active relationship with life.” ~ Vince Gowmon

Give *Wonder* & Watch it Grow

YOU are the key to expanding outdoor and environmental learning!

Together, let's support the organizations that help Coloradans reconnect to nature, each other, and to the power they have to create change.

Outdoor learning doesn’t just teach—it heals. It sparks curiosity. Supports well-being. And fosters a sense of belonging.

June is National Get Outdoors Month and the Colorado Alliance for Environmental Education asks you to Give Where it Grows by donating to our incredible network of outdoor learning organizations.

Your generosity fuels the hands-on experiences that help
create a more connected, caring world for us all.  

Help more Coloradans grow with nature—and grow into changemakers.

Nonprofits That Need You Now

Your generosity sustains Colorado's "eeCorps" AmeriCorps program which abruptly lost funding this year. Your donation directly supports dedicated environmental educators serving thousands of 
students across the state.

Mountain Studies Institute could lose up to $500,000 in federal funding, shrinking support for collaborative forest management, fire education, alpine fen + wetland restoration, and stewardship projects on public lands.

Nearly 20% of federal funding 
for Bird Conservancy of the Rockies is currently frozen and could be terminated altogether. 
Your gift ensures that they can continue to conserve and teach about birds and their habitats.

Did *You* know?

A Stanford study looked at many environmental education programs and found that when people learn outside, it boosts their curiosity, builds real-world skills, and helps them feel more confident and motivated. And it’s not just kids who benefit—teachers feel the spark too!
