As an educator, you are the expert on what is best for schools and students. That’s why educators should work side by side with the policy creators and lawmakers regarding decisions about schools and students. Join the Missouri NEA and fellow public school educators across the state and nation to make sure your voice is heard.

When you join, you will also be a member of the National Education Association and your local association. Three unions—local, state, and national—working for you. 

Experience the Missouri NEA Difference. 

Don't just join an organization; get involved in a movement! Together, we can create great public schools for every student, regardless of zip code. To be eligible for active membership, you must work in Missouri at a K-12 public or charter school or a public college or university. See eligibility for retired and student memberships below.
