"My AEE membership has enabled me to continue lifelong learning. AEE has helped me develop a wonderful career, make lifelong friends and colleagues and prepared me to deal with constant change. It has also given me many opportunities to create meaningful events and community sharing." - Rita, Member Since 2008 "AEE is one of the most welcoming, inclusive, and fun communities I have ever been involved in. Being a member of AEE keeps me connected to people and resources that help me create more impactful outcomes with my clients, as well as inspire me to keep growing myself." - Eileen, Member Since 2014 Members are connected through a shared belief in Experiential Education, but come from a variety of backgrounds and areas of focus. AEE Members include: Practitioners, Training & Development Professionals, Classroom Teachers, Professors, Students, Researchers, Clinical Adventure Therapists, Parks & Recreation Professionals, Camp Directors & Staff, Consultants, Non-Profit Directors & Staff, Environmental Educators, and more. “The opportunity to meet and be exposed to people and ideas outside of my traditional practice areas has been eye-opening and inspired me to expand my practice areas and network.” -Charlie, Member since 2017 "I joined AEE for the amazing community, everyone is approachable and there is such a wealth of knowledge in its membership base. I like being able to reach out for advice and also provide it." - Kellie, Member since 2021 "The Organizational membership gives more credibility to the work and programming within our organization. Connecting trained staff to a professional organization provides professionalism and a connection to research journals, training, and a community." -Freya, Member since 2018
