ASSOCIATION FOR EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION (AEE)
The Association for Experiential Education (AEE) is a nonprofit, professional membership association dedicated to
experiential education and the students, educators and practitioners who utilize its philosophy. We strive to:
• Connect educators in practical ways so that they have access to the growing body of knowledge that fuels
their growth and development
• Publish and provide access to relevant research, publications and resources
• Raise the quality and performance of experiential programs through our accreditation program
• Increase recognition of experiential education worldwide
AEE’s vision is to contribute to making a more just and compassionate world by transforming education.
AEE’s mission is to develop and promote experiential education. The association is committed to supporting
professional development, theoretical advancement and the evaluation of experiential education worldwide.
JOURNAL OF EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION
The Journal of Experiential Education (JEE) is a peer-reviewed, scholarly journal presenting a diverse range of
articles in subject areas such as outdoor adventure programming, service learning, environmental education,
therapeutic applications, research and theory, the creative arts, and much more.
The JEE is an invaluable reference tool for anyone involved in experiential education and a must for your library,
school, or organization's collection. It is published three times a year (November, March and August) and is mailed to
all AEE members as one of their membership benefits. The JEE can also be accessed online at aee.metapress.com
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Annual Conferences
Every November, the association convenes an annual conference of more than 900 attendees, with hundreds of
workshops, internationally recognized speakers and presenters, and more. Our signature event provides professional
development and renewal, skill building, continuing education units, and unsurpassed networking and community-
building opportunities.
Regions and Regional Conferences
AEE’s eight regions sponsor regional conferences, playdays, seminars, and other activities so members and the local
experiential education community can participate and network in smaller, more accessible and intimate settings.
Professional and Affiliation Groups
AEE professional and affiliation groups represent specific areas of focus or interest and offer opportunities for
members to share knowledge and build skills with other like-minded experiential educators and practitioners.
Involvement in the Association at any level is a great way to expand your network, try out new ideas, listen to others,
and work as a collective whole to build a world where experiential education can thrive.
