Youth Environmental Alliance

What Youth Environmental Alliance does

Youth Environmental Alliance is a Florida-based nonprofit environmental conservation and education organization founded in 2005 by Andrew Roberts and headquartered in Davie, Florida. It delivers more than 30 educational programs targeted at schools, scout troops, homeschool families, corporate groups, and community volunteers, focused on youth-oriented environmental literacy and conservation engagement.

The organization's programs are delivered as in-person classes and field activities, with a more recent extension into virtual classes and a dedicated homeschool curriculum. It operates an eco-gift shop as a complementary merchandise line and runs volunteer engagement pathways. Its partner network spans federal and state agencies (EPA, Florida Fish and Wildlife), national conservation nonprofits (National Wildlife Federation, Guy Harvey Foundation), municipal governments (Broward County, City of Hollywood), and corporate sponsors (Allstate, Cabela's, REI Boca Raton, Sprouts Foundation, Men Giving Back, among others).

The business model is a diversified nonprofit funding stack: per-participant program and class fees, individual donations, corporate sponsorships and grants, and merchandise sales through the eco-gift shop. The organization is small (1–10 employees) and operates on a regional, Florida-anchored footprint, with credibility signals including the 2024 Top Rated Nonprofit designation from Great Nonprofits and the 2025 Candid Seal of Transparency.

Youth Environmental Alliance delivers hands-on environmental education and conservation programs for schools, scout groups, homeschool families, and youth. Offerings include 30+ virtual, on-site, and in-field science programs, garden programs (butterfly, bee, aquaponics, hydroponics, native plants), corporate green sponsorship and team events, and volunteer-driven coastal and wetland restoration projects.

Product overview

Youth Environmental Alliance operates as a single unified service offering rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture. The organization provides interactive environmental education programs, conservation activities, and sustainability services through multiple interconnected program areas: school and scout programs (including homeschool classes, virtual classes, and field trips), garden programs (butterfly gardens, bee gardens, aquaponics, hydroponics, and habitat restorations), eco-friendly gifts/shop, corporate green sponsorships and team events, and volunteer opportunities (coastal restoration, wetlands). All programs focus on educational sciences, conservation, environmental stewardship, and involve youth, companies, and the community in preserving ecosystems and wildlife while promoting sustainability at home, school, offices, and communities.
