Missouri Geographic Alliance

The Missouri Geographic Alliance (MGA) is a grassroots network of Missouri elementary and secondary educators, university instructors, geography professionals, and concerned citizens dedicated to the advancement of geographic literacy in the state of Missouri.

MGA serves five primary purposes in the state of Missouri. Alliance aims to enhance geographic education, to promote geography education and the growth of teacher education, curriculum and materials development, and public awareness of geography in Missouri, to meet the professional needs of geographic educators through various programs and activities, to develop a communications network among and for geographic educators, and to provide leadership and organization in the national network of geographic alliances. In the past two decades the Missouri Geographic Alliance has consistently been the voice of geography education in the state of Missouri. The Alliance has had a long-standing history of providing resources, professional development opportunities, advocating for geographic education and geographic literacy at local, regional, state and national-levels.
