2024 EENC Auction

The 2024 auction proceeds will be earmarked for EENC's scholarship fund. This funding makes professional learning as accessible as possible for our EE community!

All items were donated, so all revenue earned helps provide North Carolina's environmental educators with future workshops!

Did you grow up catching fireflies, playing in the creek, or building a fort in your yard? Most children in today’s world won’t, which means that when they grow up, they may not have a vested interest in protecting our natural resources and natural spaces. Environmental educators across the state are working to change that. By leveraging evidence-based, research-driven methods to deliver high-quality outdoor, nature-based, and science education, educators across North Carolina are bridging the gap to ensure that children have the knowledge, skills, and commitment needed to build a sustainable future.

The Environmental Educators of North Carolina (EENC) exists to strengthen the field of environmental education in North Carolina and to support the hardworking educators bringing learning to life for learners across the state. Catalyzed in 1990 by a collective need for environmental educators to connect and share resources and inspiration, EENC now boasts a community of over 550 members across North Carolina, including educators, organizations, and community partners representing excellence in our field. Through the advocacy efforts, funding opportunities, professional development offerings, and networking events provided by our staff team and Board of Directors, EENC provides a forum to unite educators, build collective knowledge, and make our voices heard for a greener tomorrow. EENC strives to be a leader in the field of environmental education within North Carolina, the southeast, and the nation.

Every year, we hold an annual auction in conjunction with our conference to raise critical funds to support our community.
