Let’s Build the Community our Field has Been Waiting For
Do you inspire wonder in a museum, bring the wild to life in a zoo, or spark curiosity at an aquarium? If you create magic in any learning space outside of school, you are part of an essential community. Now, we have a place built just for us.
We’re launching a new community to connect informal educators everywhere. This is where we can share ideas, swap stories, cheer each other on, and grow together. You’ll find a vibrant forum, a resource hub, skill building workshops, and a newsletter packed with opportunities. A conference designed entirely for our field is also coming soon.
This isn’t just another professional group. It’s a network of people who get what it’s like to teach without classroom walls. We know that real learning can happen anywhere, with anyone, at any age.
Join us at the beginning and help shape the future of informal education. Let’s lift each other up, share our passion, and show the world how powerful our work really is.
Your voice matters here. Your work matters here. You belong here.
