Our Mission
The Youth Environmental Alliance is a 501c3 with funding primarily through private donations, grants and program delivery. The Youth Environmental Alliance mission is to deliver education programs and facilitate participation in environmental activities inclusive of diverse persons of all abilities, from the young to the young at heart.
At Youth Environmental Alliance, we are proud to serve as the center of an organized network of charitable organizations, educational institutions and businesses that share a common underlying philosophy – “For Youth, For the Environment, Forever.” Youth Environmental Alliance programs deliver measurable results that benefit the community and the environment in partnership with our sponsors.
The YEA staff not only provides expertise in the subject matter and program applications, but our staff walks our talk, implementing the behaviors that we profess in our own lives and restoring our yards to increase wildlife corridors and provide numerous other ecological and environmental benefits.
What Makes Us Unique
Since 2005 Youth Environmental Alliance has been instrumental in providing all-inclusive programs that focus on natural sciences and environmental stewardship.
We offer fun and engaging programs that empower youth and the community to preserve and protecting our unique ecosystems and wildlife, at home, in the office, and in your communities.
With programs for persons of all ages and abilities, including at risk youth and people with special needs, we empower the next generation of environmental stewards.
Our wildlife biology and ecology experts, in partnership with our sponsors, have educated and engaged thousands of youth to take action toward achieving a more sustainable economy and better world for generations to come.
About Youth Environmental Alliance
Video Created by Teacher Participating In Multiple YEA Programs
"[Youth Environmental Alliance instructors] guided [our class] through the different issues that are affecting our planet through experimentation and interactive materials that explain major concepts in a child friendly manner. Each child walked away with an understanding of how each of us can do simple things, every day in order to preserve our planet. The feedback from the families , and students was overwhelmingly positive! - Miss Barcia
Since 2005 YEA has been instrumental in delivering hands-on educational programs focusing our fragile ecology and restoration and recreational opportunities. Our programs originated with the help of our general community in Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach. YEA now offers virtual classes and programming to engage our communities worldwide!
Thanks to your funding and corporate give-back, our programs serve persons of all ages and abilities including underserved communities, kids in distressful situations and special needs participants and general community members.
YEA is partnered with over 15 like-minded organizations and conducts 30+ natural science-based programs such as:
-
Dune and mangrove restorations in partnership with various municipalities, corporations, Broward County, City of Hollywood, Lauderdale-By-The-Sea and Broward County Schools
