Family Nature Summits has been hosting conservation summits around the US for over 50 years.  Every year, they offer educator scholarships that provide registration and room and board for their events.  This year, they are offering scholarships for up to three educators plus a guest (another educator or child).

The 2024 Saguaro Skies Summit will be at Tanque Verde Ranch, AZ this year from July 6th-12th, 2024.  This is a great opportunity to connect with the experienced environmental educators the summit brings in  from across the country to work with local organizations such as ours; Partners for Equitable Science Instruction (PESI). 

Marian Keglovits, OTD, MSCI, Director of Operations, came across PESI while looking for resources in the Tucson area and thought we might have educators who would be interested. They also have a few local faculty positions open for childcare and the elementary-aged programs. 

 Please reach out with any questions you may have directly to Marian at  marian@familynaturesummits.org
