Founded in April 2019, the Environmental Education Collaborative (EECO) stands as Yale’s pioneering student organization committed to fostering environmental consciousness among K-12 students in New Haven. Our mission revolves around cultivating strong connections with local schools and community organizations. EECO achieves this by crafting and delivering place-based curricula, leading educational field trips within New Haven, and executing sustained environmental education projects that enhance and broaden students’ classroom learning experiences.
