The Arizona Convening is a recurring statewide gathering of educators, community organizers, government agencies, businesses, and nonprofits dedicated to youth sustainability education and engagement. Hosted by RCE Greater Phoenix in partnership with ASU’s Global Futures Education Alliance, these convenings serve as the primary engine for building a statewide Collective Impact Network. Our goal is to ensure that every young person in Arizona can engage with global futures topics—such as sustainability, resilience, and opportunity—in ways that are relevant to their lives and communities.
The next Arizona Convening will be held on September 11 in Flagstaff. We look forward to bringing together educators, community partners, and sustainability leaders for another opportunity to connect, share ideas, and strengthen collaboration across Arizona. Additional details will be posted soon, so please check back here for updates.
Join us after the Arizona Convening to recoup, refresh, and reconnect with colleagues and friends. This year’s theme, “Sustaining the Stewards” is meant to demonstrate the importance of caring for yourself and your team members through challenging times. Click here for more information
Meet educators, community leaders, nonprofits, agencies, and industry peers from across Arizona. Facilitated networking will help you map local assets, surface overlapping efforts, and form cross-sector teams.
Define what high-quality, equitable youth sustainability engagement looks like across Arizona—inside classrooms and in communities. Capture a shared vision that local teams can adapt and advance.
Collaborate on a practical set of indicators—student agency and skills, community impact, participation, and inclusion—so programs can assess progress in comparable ways.
Join focused working groups to draft plans with owners, milestones, and needed supports. Topics include student-led projects, citizen science, AI for resilience education, and ecosystem mapping.
