The Virginia Section of the American Water Works Association (VA AWWA) is pleased to serve as the sponsoring agency of this program for the state of Virginia. We believe that this role strongly aligns with our mission and places us at the center of promoting the value of water and the awareness of water careers in both school and community events.
Leading, educating, and assisting Virginia's water community in the advancement of public health, safety, quality of life, and environmental stewardship.
Educators and Facilitators- How Do I Start?
Educator Trainings are hosted by Facilitators who have considerable experience working with both children and adults in formal or informal environmental education settings. Generally, Educators teach children and Facilitators teach Educators (adults). Facilitators and Educators may only purchase and teach out of books for which they have received training. By limiting the access of teaching materials to trained teachers, Project WET seeks to maintain its reputation as a respected resource for water education throughout the world. If you've already had Educator Training and want to become a Facilitator, use the link above to start your journey!
If you have questions, please reach out by email and we'll set a time to chat.
