The Outstanding Service to Environmental Education by an Organization Awards may be presented to organizations to recognize their efforts in promoting and providing EE leadership at the local, regional, and global levels*.

The organization receiving the award must have made a significant contribution to EE, and should be known for one or more of the following:

• Visible contributions in EE (e.g. research, innovations, curricula, legislation, publications, etc.)

• Dedicated service in the field of EE

• Outstanding environmental action, contribution, or stance by an organization whose primary function is not environmental (e.g. a political group that is supportive of EE programs or legislation, etc.)
