about

How many Instructors are in each classroom?
Instructor teams consist of four to five volunteers per classroom. This allows us to split into smaller groups for activities and experiments, facilitating personal interaction and direct youth-to-youth mentorship.

Are EENG instructors trained before entering the classroom?
Yes, all EENG instructors are interviewed and screened before being selected to teach. Once accepted, volunteers undergo an in-depth training program to ensure they are fully prepared to effectively manage in any class setting.

Are all EENG instructors Environmental Studies majors?
EENG instructors’ major in a vast range of disciplines from engineering to art. There is a great diversity of learning styles in every classroom and to obtain the greatest connection with all participants we make sure to enroll our teams with instructors majoring in a variety of concentrations.

Does EENG accept instructors outside of college age volunteers?
EENG only accepts college volunteer instructors as we feel the youth-to-youth connection with college students promotes an aspiration for higher education.

Does EENG plan to expand to other grade levels?
EENG currently has no plans to expand beyond 1st and 2nd grade. We feel that children ages 6 to 8 are at the ideal stage of development for an environmental education program of this nature, and have therefore opted to develop our campaign outward rather than upward.
