E3 Washington Volunteer Interest Form
As Environmental and Sustainability Professionals, We care about this place we call home in all its dimensions—environmental, social, economic, political, and spiritual.  Have you ever felt the desire to have an even greater impact and perhaps at an even broader scale?  

As the professional association supporting Environmental and Sustainability Education practitioners and researchers across WA, E3 seeks to further expand our network with individuals who bring diverse perspectives, lived experiences, racial and cultural backgrounds, as well as representation from all regions of our state.

Please consider joining an E3 Washington Committee! Committees can include both E3 WA Board Members and members of the community.  Each E3 Washington community provides opportunities to engage your skills and interests, build your professional portfolio, and help build capacity for Environmental and Sustainability Education across Washington state.

Check out E3’s Committee descriptions below and let us know which committees you are interested in.
