NEA Student Program History
The Student National Education Association (SNEA) was founded in 1937 as a department of NEA. The SNEA Representative Assembly almost 50 years later voted to end its affiliation status and merge with NEA as a program -- The NEA Student Program.
Today we have:
- 60,000 members
- more than 1100 college/university campus chapters
- 50 state programs
- a national, full-time, elected chairperson
- a nine-member, appointed advisory committee of student members
- 2 national conferences -- Summer Leadership Conference (June), and Fall Connections Conference (November).
We strive to:
- promote community partnerships
- foster leadership through pre-professional opportunities and peer mentoring
- promote membership among diverse populations
- provide networking opportunities
- supplement formal teacher-education training
- promote the national accreditation of teacher-education training
- recruit and retain pre-professional members, and
- maintain a presence at all NEA conferences.
The NEA Student Program is Essential
Nearly 2 million teachers across the country retired in 2007. We must take aggressive steps to replace these educators and ensure a quality teacher in every classroom. NEA supports teachers who are well qualified and prepared for their careers.
Also, one out of three NEA Student Program members becomes an NEA leader.
