The Student Program

We have:
  • 55,000 members nationwide
  • more than 1100 college/university campus chapters
  • 50 state programs
  • a national, full-time, elected chairperson
  • a nine-member, appointed advisory committee of student members
  • Student Leadership and Professional Issues Conference

We strive to:
  • promote community partnerships
  • foster leadership through pre-professional opportunities and peer mentoring
  • promote membership among diverse populations
  • provide networking opportunities
  • supplement formal teacher-education training
  • promote the national accreditation of teacher-education training
  • recruit and retain pre-professional members, and
  • maintain a presence at all NEA conferences.

THE STUDENT PROGRAM IS ESSENTIAL

Thousands of educators and educational support professionals across the country retire each year. We must take aggressive steps to replace these educators and ensure quality education in every classroom. NEA supports educators who are well qualified and prepared for their careers.
