TOGETHER.
A STRONGER VOICE.
As an educator, you are the expert on what is best for schools and students. That’s why educators, not politicians and policymakers, should be making decisions about schools and students. Join Missouri NEA and fellow 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.
Don't just join an organization, get involved in a movement! Together, we can change the way public schools, students, and employees are treated.

What do educators say about MNEA?
Christina Melly
Teacher, Ritenour NEA
2023 Missouri Teacher of the Year
“There is nothing so challenging and rewarding at the same time as teaching. So much of what helped me in the classroom and to affect change out of the classroom has come from Missouri NEA. I’ve received training, attended representative assemblies, and met with other educators to learn what they are doing to form support networks. There is a sense that we can affect change, and the union is a resource to help. MNEA has helped me learn to be an advocate and supported me in that journey.”
Darrion Cockrell
Teacher, Lindbergh NEA
2021 Missouri Teacher of the Year
“I believe we must be a positive influence for our students and our fellow educators. Missouri NEA helps educators, parents and students advocate for positive change at the local, state and national levels so every child, regardless of zip code, can attend a great public school. I’m proud to be a member of MNEA and work alongside dedicated professionals.”
Lana Dawson
Teacher, Jefferson City NEA
“I’m a proud member of Missouri NEA because MNEA is always working to support me. I attended a Degrees Not Debt workshop and learned that I could save $100 per month on my student loan payment, as well as receive trustworthy advice and assistance towards student loan programs that I am eligible for. I am so grateful to have support from my union.”
