Since 2005 YEA has been delivering exceptional educational programs focusing on Florida's ecology & coastal restorations
About us
The Youth Environmental Alliance mission is to deliver education programs and facilitate participation in environmental activities to diverse persons of all abilities. Each program highlights the importance of outdoor ethics, safety, and environmental stewardship while providing a fun learning atmosphere. We offer programs for at-risk youth and people with special needs. We offer corporate volunteer efforts to help restore S. Florida's dune habitats and mangrove systems (through "Project ROC" - Reclaiming our Coastlines), as well as beach cleanup events. YEA is committed to providing opportunities for youth and their families to reconnect to Florida’s outdoor activities while fostering a lifelong respect for our planet’s future. Partnerships with like-minded organizations have allowed YEA to maximize resources and to improve the scope and quality of our programs. Continuing with this focus YEA has expanded our 2008 programs to include Hooked on Fishing-Not on Drugs as well as Florida Ag in the Classroom. Each program offers youth the unique opportunities to learn about our fragile environment while experiencing hands-on involvement.

Happy National Dog Day 🐾! While we adore our furry companions 🐶, it's essential to address what to do with their excrement! Surprisingly, when pet waste is left on the ground, it breaks down and can contaminate our water supply by seeping into rivers 🏞️, streams, creeks, and other nearby water sources 🌊. The Centers for Disease Control warn that pet waste carries various bacteria, parasites, and diseases that can be transmitted to humans. To handle pet waste responsibly, consider composting it or burying it!

In 2024, the Trees for Wildlife™ 🌳 program supported the planting and distribution of more than 59,000 native trees to enhance climate and ecosystem resilience 🤩. YEA 🐸 hosted close to 60 environmental events involving over 6,000 participants, emphasizing the importance of tree benefits and habitat restoration. Numerous native trees were planted, invasive plants were cleared, and trees were provided for home planting 💚. Our ongoing events are dedicated to furthering environmental education and conservation initiatives!

What an exciting day yesterday at Primetime STEAM Family Night 🤩! Both parents and children had an amazing time with our butterfly program 🦋. They discovered various caterpillar 🐛 types and their host 🌱 , and some even dared to interact with the caterpillars! A big thank you to Prime Time Palm Beach County, Inc. for inviting us to your family night. #primetime #education #butterfly #butterflyprogram #familynight #yea #jointhealliance #steam #palmbeach

The Forest Stewardship Council defines Deforestation as a large-scale tree removal for various purposes like agriculture, urbanization, and logging. It has global 🌎 environmental 🌲, social, and economic impacts: Forests regulate climate by absorbing carbon dioxide; deforestation releases stored carbon💨, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. Deforestation reduces biodiversity, disrupts ecosystems, and threatens species survival 🐻. Social impacts include displacement of indigenous communities, loss of culture, and economic instability. Deforestation leads to soil erosion, reduced land productivity, and desertification, worsening food insecurity and poverty. Addressing deforestation requires global cooperation and sustainable practices to protect the planet and its inhabitants 💚. Join YEA 🐸 for our many events where we plant trees and other native vegetation 🫵 https://lnkd.in/gdHhxbk4

Say “Hello” 👋 to Joey Davis our new environmental educator at YEA! Since childhood, she’s been fascinated by nature, encouraged by her parents to explore outdoors 🏕️, fostering her love for native wildlife. Graduating from the environmental science and Everglades 🐊 restoration program at South Plantation High School, Joey was introduced to YEA 🐸! The hands-on activities were always a highlight and our enthusiasm inspired her to know more. Despite living in South Florida, she never heard of the Everglades until YEA took her class for a school field trip there. Now, as Joey pursues her environmental science degree, her goal is to combat climate change and preserve the Everglades 🤩. Whether through volunteering, reducing consumption, expanding knowledge, or supporting natural parks 🌲, she’s committed to making a difference. Environmental education plays a crucial role in fostering connections between people and the environment 🌎. By nurturing these connections, we can instill a profound respect for nature and advocate for a healthier planet. “I am thrilled to be part of the team and continue inspiring young minds to take environmental action” 💚! #jointhealliance #volunteer #education #kidseducation #nonprofitfundraising #greenevents #youthenvironmentalalliance #nonprofitlife #experiments #yea
