The NEED Project's network consists of over 65,000 classrooms nationwide who use NEED's annually up-dated curriculum materials. Educators are NEED members in order to receive updated curriculum materials, participate in workshops and inservices, and to connect to the NEED network. Membership is $35.00. In many states and localities, membership is sponsored for interested teachers by federal or state energy agencies and other NEED corporate sponsors.

Any educator can become a 2011-2012 NEED Member and become part of a dynamic network of schools across the nation participating in innovative energy education programs. Membership includes a NEED Membership/Curriculum Packet, a subscription to Energy Exchange newsletter, access to NEED conferences, workshops and the Youth Awards Program, and the opportunity to design a classroom program by ordering basic curriculum units and free supplemental materials using the NEED Catalog included in the Membership and Curriculum Packet.

Additional materials are found on-line in the Curriculum Guides and Activities section of this site. An order form is available in the NEED 2011-2012 NEED Resource Catalog to complete and fax to NEED at 1-800-847-1820.
