The Green Teacher Gathering seeks to bolster the environmental and sustainability education movement in the Chicagoland area. Our mission is to expand participants' knowledge through engaging workshops and networking opportunities. The theme for this year’s Gathering is Cultivating Connections with Nature which reflects our vision of a future where schools and communities are interconnected, sharing knowledge and resources for a sustainable tomorrow. Our aim is for attendees to feel empowered, motivated, and inspired.
