Supporting Maine’s Outdoor & Environmental Education

Teach ME Outside (TMO) supports and works with local communities to ensure all Maine youth have access to culturally relevant, hands-on, environmental learning opportunities. Using a data-informed process, TMO develops support for educators and research to inform policy.
