The Partnership for Environmental Education, Inc. (PFEE), is a Florida not-for-profit organization (began January 1995), that was formed by a diverse group of community leaders, educators and business people for the purpose of encouraging, promoting and supporting environmental education, stewardship, and careers. PFEE brings together students, scientists, educators, businesses and governmental agencies to promote a sustainable environmental legacy for our region.
History
PFEE was founded in order to provide funding for the activities of the Jupiter Environmental Research and Field Studies Academy (JERFSA). JERFSA students require adequate funding for various community service, field study, and other research programs. PFEE was founded by parents, teachers, and students two years after the JERFSA program began and order to raise these funds. Since then the program has continued and expanded and provides not only funding, but a connection to businesses and the community for the JERFSA program.
