EEAI is teaming up with EcoRise, the North American Association for Environmental Education, and other NAAEE affiliates in the Midwest on an exciting project to conduct a comprehensive landscape analysis of environmental education in the Midwest.  So far, EcoRise has completed initial data collection from 26 states. We need your help to add Indiana to the map!

To help us complete this analysis, we invite you to participate in Gen:Thrive - a collaborative initiative organized and led by EcoRise.  By completing a profile for your organization, you'll be added to a public directory of EE providers.  The information you provide will also help EEAI meet several goals on behalf of environmental education practitioners and advocates in Indiana and across the Midwest.  This project will:

Ready to add your profile and information?  Here’s what you do:

• Not sure if you have an assigned code?  You can confirm by:
• Searching your inbox/spam folder - you may have already gotten an email with your unique login code from your affiliate.  
• Contacting Megan Sharp at resourcecoordinator@eeai.org.
• If you DO NOT already have a unique login code, use the "Contact Us" button at the bottom of the page to request a custom login code.

Once you access your profile, the questionnaires will address your organizational operations, services provided, audiences served, and programming themes to help us better understand environmental education and engagement in the Midwest.  It should take approximately 20 minutes to complete.  The profile is divided into two levels: organizational information and program information. After completing the organization-level questionnaire, please continue to the program survey, where you can provide detailed information about your key program offerings.  The more programs you can provide information for, the more accurate our coverage map and data will be.  Please note that the profile survey will function best using Google Chrome as your browser.  If you need some guidance on getting your profile set up and responding to each section of the profile entries, there are some detailed guidance videos on the Gen:Thrive FAQ Page.

As a token of our appreciation for your time and effort, all Indiana organizations that complete the survey will receive a $5 discount for one employee to attend our annual conference.  Everyone who completes the organization level survey and program-level responses for at least their top 3 attended programs will be entered to win one of the following awesome prizes:

• A $100 Gift Certificate to the Outdoor Learning Store
• A $50 Gift Certificate to the Outdoor Learning Store
• One of Two $25 Gift Certificates to the Outdoor Learning Store
• 5 Winners get a $15 Discount to our Annual Conference

Thank you for helping us build a strong network of program providers and expanding our impact throughout the state!  Please reach out to resourcecoordinator@eeai.org if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.
