Welcome to the Society for Experiential Education

Founded in 1971, the Society for Experiential Education (SEE) is the premier, nonprofit membership organization composed of a global community of researchers, practitioners, and thought leaders who are committed to the establishment of effective methods of experiential education as fundamental to the development of the knowledge, skills and attitudes that empower learners and promote the common good. SEE sustains a great variety of experiential learning opportunities, such as internships, micro-experiences, service learning, global experience, and more. The Society’s vision is to expand the perspectives shared and voices heard throughout our growing profession so that they are representative of the practitioners and students in the field of experiential education.

Join a Global Community of Experiential Educators

SEE is proud to announce a new membership feature - the Experiential Education Campus Leadership Network. Professionals who lead or coordinate experiential education for their college/university campus are often "alone" in their work. They are without obvious peers on their campuses and would benefit from a network of peers who are doing comparable work and facing similar challenges. SEE aims to fill that gap by creating the Experiential Education Campus Leadership Network. This is an optional special interest group that can be added to SEE membership. 2023 will be the inaugural year for the Network, and it provides exciting opportunities not only to connect with peers at other campuses, but also to shape the future direction of the Network.

Experiential Education Academy (EEA)

A key component of SEE’s mission is to enhance the professional development of its members. Another component of the mission is to be the national leader in advancing experiential education as a field and a profession. To accomplish both aspects of this mission, SEE created the Experiential Education Academy, often referred to as the EEA or the Academy. Since its inception, several hundred faculty and staff from dozens of higher education institutions have been completed the EEA certification. Since its inception, several hundred faculty and staff from dozens of higher education institutions have been completed the EEA certification.
