No Child Left Inside Coalition

The Coalition was created in 2006 to find new ways to encourage kids to experience nature and learn about the environment.

To meet the goals, we support the No Child Left Inside Act, which would provide new federal funding for outdoor learning activities and high-quality environmental education. We are confident that once they are up close with nature, kids will become more engaged with the outdoors and care more deeply about protecting their environment. Stronger environmental education will pay unexpected dividends in the classroom.

We believe we must better prepare young people to understand and overcome major environmental challenges, including global climate change. We were driven by the recognition that America’s young people are growing increasingly disconnected from nature spending more time inside and not outside playing, exploring and learning. This is a disturbing trend that is contributing to a host of problems, including childhood obesity and nature deficit disorder. Even outdoor recess is in jeopardy according to the National PTA.
