How can I join?

We welcome teachers from schools who are right at the beginning of their sustainability journey all the way through to those who have embedded sustainability into all areas of school life. You don’t need to have to have run nature projects around your school already, we’re looking for a group of teachers with a range of different experiences and backgrounds.

So as long as you are interested in trying to make your school grounds better for nature, embedding sustainability throughout your curriculum and school culture, and equipping your students with the knowledge and skills to take action for our planet then the WWF Teacher Community is for you.

To sign up just fill in our online form below by Friday 28 June 2024 (takes ~5 minutes).

Successful applicants will be informed by Friday 12 July 2024.

Please note that if your application is successful we will ask that you get signed permission from your senior leadership team for your year-long commitment to the WWF Teacher Community.
