OUR VOICE IS OUR POWER Stronger Together

Education West Virginia was formed through the merger of the West Virginia Education Association (WVEA) and AFT-West Virginia (AFT-WV). Education West Virginia is dedicated to advocating for education professionals, working to ensure they have the resources, support and conditions necessary for providing a high quality education for West Virginia’s students. Education West Virginia aims include: securing and improving educator benefits, providing top-notch representation and advocacy, shaping positive public education policy and reforms, and elevating the teaching profession to benefit students and recapture the respect our education employees deserve.

Through Education West Virginia, we champion the change we need to support high-quality public schools in every community. We invite you to be a part of this new member-driven organization.
