The West Region of the Association for Experiential Education is made up of California, Nevada, Hawaii, and most recently, Baja California, Mexico. We are a diverse and expansive region - in people, programs and environments. We are a dedicated group of volunteers committed to the mission and vision of the Association and helping to actualize these in the West Region. Experiential education as a philosophy informs the practice of wide range of professionals in many fields.
Our membership includes educators (K-12, higher education), human service professionals (social workers, counselors, psychologists, etc.), corporate trainers, outdoor & adventure professionals (ropes course & wilderness instructors), youth development workers (Girl and Boy Scouts, Boys and Girls Clubs, YWCA and YMCA) and much more.
Our major event is an annual conference held in the spring. We also sponsor play days and other regional gatherings. There are many ways that you can get involved in the region and in promoting experiential education. This region is only as strong as the membership and those you volunteer your time. We hope you will get involved!
Your West AEE Co-Chairs,
