The primary purpose of the E3 Program Directory Project was to create an accessible and searchable online directory of Boston’s experiential environmental education (E3) programs.  The directory was developed through a survey of organizations that provide E3 programs to Boston's youth, irrespective of where the organizations where located.  The project team worked with a group of the Barr Foundation’s grantees, the “E3 Cluster”, to identify known E3 programs and develop survey questions.  The project team then developed a database of program contacts; performed a survey of organizations offering E3 programs and created an interactive searchable directory using Sharepoint technology.

Findings

The E3 Directory is an on-going process and the data will be continually updated over time through the use of periodic surveys and by direct maintenance by E3 Organizations. Documents, including a summary of the key findings from the most recent survey, can be found in the Documents to Download section below.
