MISSION STATEMENT:
Environmental education is a life-long process in which individuals gain awareness and knowledge of the natural and human environment. Quality environmental education programs help learners of all ages assess the multiple factors involved in resolving environmental issues and take positive actions to help resolve them. The knowledge and skills gained through environmental education help learners develop confidence and the ability to work cooperatively while contributing to quality education and economic stability.
GSEEC brings together the skills and assets of a variety of individuals, major programs, agencies, institutions, and businesses from communities throughout California. By participating on various committees and communicating via our list-serv, GSEEC's nearly 300 partner organizations work together to through a variety of projects: engagement with diverse communities, outreach, marketing, mentoring, networking, and organizion of youth leadership initiatives.An estimated 100,000 K-12 youth from a variety of socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds are served annually through GSEEC members. GSEEC actively welcomes those communities not well represented in current EE efforts. The California Community Forest Foundation (CCFF), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is the fiscal agent for GSEEC.
