What Is AEE?
The Association for Experiential Education (AEE) is a not-for-profit, international professional organization with roots in adventure education, committed to the development, practice, and evaluation of experiential learning in all settings.

The mission of the Association for Experiential Education is to develop and promote experiential education. The Association is committed to support professional development, theoretical advancement, and evaluation of experiential education worldwide.

In the early 1970s, a group of educators assembled in Boone, North Carolina, USA to discuss ways in which education could be made more relevant for students. These people knew that the core of learning is greatly enhanced by experiential forms of education.

Now, with approximately 2,000 members in over 30 countries, AEE's diverse membership consists of individuals and organizations with affiliations in education, recreation, outdoor adventure programming, mental health, youth service, physical education, management development training, corrections programming for people with disabilities, and environmental education.

The vision of the Association for Experiential Education is to contribute to making a more just and compassionate world by transforming education.

AEE does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, physical ability, or professional affiliation in matters of employment or application for membership.

AEE Southeast Region consists of Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Kentucky.  The goal of our region is to provide quality educational, training, and networking opportunities to its members and potential members in the region.
