CAEE Diversity and Inclusiveness Committee Update

CAEE’s Diversity and Inclusiveness committee is working to figure out how we, as an alliance, can work together to see environmental education in Colorado become more inclusive.

Colorado Alliance for Environmental Education

Inclusiveness Statement

Colorado Alliance for Environmental Education (CAEE) works to ensure that everyone in Colorado has the opportunity to learn about the environment and experience quality environmental education.

Recognizing the value of diversity and inclusiveness to advance environmental education; CAEE, including our staff, leadership, membership, and audiences, commits to:

• integrating the ideals of multiculturism, equity, justice, and sustainability;
• acting as allies for those whose voices are not being heard; and
• promoting equal access to environmental education.

CAEE defines diversity in its broadest sense and welcomes everyone to the field of environmental education and the Alliance, including but not limited to people of all races, ethnicities, genders, gender expressions, sexual orientations, abilities, ages, national origins, socioeconomic status, religious affiliations, languages, and heritages.

The committee has also created these three goals for EE in Colorado:

• Increase the diversity of environmental educators

• Increase the inclusiveness skills of environmental educators

• Increase awareness of the value of diversity.
