EVENT
SPONSORSHIP
Dear Environmental Education Supporter,
We invite you to show your support for environmental education in our state by sponsoring Kansas Association for Conservation and Environmental Education (KACEE) events this year. KACEE unites public agencies, teachers, community organizations, businesses, and individuals behind a common cause - teaching kids how to think, not what to think, about environmental issues through non-biased and science-based EE.
KACEE is a 501(c)3 organization with a vison to grow a healthy, vibrant and resilient Kansas through the power of environmental education. A portion of your sponsorship is tax deductible. Your sponsorship will be recognized in our promotions, reaching 1300+ people across Kansas.
By sponsoring our fundraising events, you will help offset costs, reduce registration fees, and provide scholarships for educators. Support for environmental education is vital for a healthy environment, vibrant economy, and successful communities.
If environmental education is something that you or your organization deeply values, sponsoring one or more of our events provides the opportunity to live your values and lead your community by example.
Thank you for your consideration!
The KACEE Board and Staff
BE THE CHANGE: Leadership Strategies for Greener Schools eeCredential
This eeCredential is about more than recycling bins and school gardens—it’s about creating a culture of sustainability that lasts. You’ll learn how to start small, build momentum, and ensure the great work you begin continues even if staff or leadership changes. It is a foundational piece of building a successful Kansas Green Schools program at your school, providing K-12 educators with the professional learning needed to become a Kansas Green School Leader and successfully lead their school team through the KICK Challenge, and build a Green Schools Program that lasts.
As a participant in the eeCredential you’ll gain:
- A strong foundation in environmental education (EE) principles
- Hands-on experience with Green School investigations and projects
- Strategies to integrate EE and project-based learning into your classroom, school, or organization
- Step-by-step guidance to earn official Kansas Green School recognition
Join the growing community of over 200 educators who have completed the BE THE CHANGE: Leadership Strategies for Greener Schools eeCredential and led their schools and students toward meaningful, project-based learning that leaves a positive, lasting impact on their schools, students, and communities.
This eeCredential will provide you with the professional development to become a Kansas Green School Leader and successfully lead your school team through the KICK Challenge. The KICK (Keep it Clean Kansas) Challenge guides students (via a Google Classroom) through an investigation of their school's waste stream. Three schools will be chosen to receive a $1,000 award and be eligible to apply for a small waste grant once the Waste & Recycling Investigation is complete.
