IRS990/Desc0Environmental Education: CEC's newest program connects formal & informal educators to increase the quality & quantity of education specific and relevant to the greater Houston/Gulf Coast region. Many local educators, both formal and informal, have expressed an interest in teaching about Greater Houstons environment - both its challenges and its many resources - yet they often teach about other places for lack of local knowledge and materials. CEC's education programs provide resources to teach about climate, bayous, sea turtles, water and air quality, prairie chickens and prairies, climate change, and nature in our backyard. In 2019 Q3, CEC hired an environmental education specialist to manage this program. In 2020, the specialist coordinated numerous in-person professional development opportunities in 2020 working with dozens of educational partners, and then pivoted to provide virtual learning opportunities. In all, almost 1,800 educators attended in-person and virtual education events in 2020. Moreover, the education specialist coordinated several collaborative grant applications that resulted in over $120,000 in grants for CEC and its partners. The grant-funded programs (and subsequent reimbursements) were largely deferred into future years due to COVID.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Green Films: CEC has grown its green films program from a one-night, sold out, on tour 2015 showing of the Wild & Scenic Film Festival on tour festival into the Houston Green Films and Festivals Program.

CEC is increasingly able to use this program to highlight local environmental stories. Over 1,000 people attended CEC film events--in person and virtually--in 2020.
