YEP-MEA Provides Support
he Young Education Professionals of the Maine Education Association (YEP-MEA) are members who are newer to the profession of education, care about our students, our schools, and shaping the future of the profession–all while having fun! The mission of YEP-MEA members is to build personal and professional relationships with other like-minded educators through networking and community outreach to help further the cause of great public schools for every Maine student.
YEP-MEA hosts several events specifically designed for early career educators throughout the year. Recently, a group gathered at Rising Tide in Portland to network and learn from a panel of educators about what they wished they knew when they started in the profession.
