FOAM Network
The FOAM Network is a group of individuals who have each worked as an Educator for The Ecology School. We are a vibrant community of teachers, scientists, farmers, and passionate educators from across the country. Our community is compiled of 360+ environmental advocates who continue to grow and develop.
“I’ve worked at several different outdoor education organizations, and The Ecology School is undoubtedly the one that cares the most. They care about their students, they care about their educators, and they truly care about the message they wish to give to the world.”
FOAM Gives Back

“The Ecology School was the fifth environmental/outdoor education place that I worked at after completing my Masters in Experiential Education. What I found here was not only a wonderful community and place to work, but also one of the best run organizations I have ever worked for or with. Anyone who is interested in knowing not just about how to teach ecology but also how to run a business should talk with The Ecology School. Their commitment to staff care and development allows them to build a wonderful working environment where staff are excited to go to work and desire to not only be their best but also to do their best for the kids that they serve.”
