We are Stronger Together 
The reasons the West Virginia Education Association exists are right in front of you, including your students and colleagues throughout your county. We all want the same thing; the positive teaching and learning conditions essential for building and maintaining schools where educators and students thrive, the resources and opportunities students and educators need to succeed. A strong, active membership is the reason WVEA makes public schools great for every child. Our collective voice affords us the strength to do more together than we can by ourselves.

This Member Benefits Guide outlines just a few of the benefits that are exclusive to WVEA members. One of the most popular benefits is WVEA’s Access Savings Card. From professional growth, resources and support, to amplifying your voice in public policy debates that affect you and your classroom, WVEA provides resources to help you succeed. WVEA has your future in mind.

We’re on Your Side
You are never alone in the classroom. WVEA is your advocate and your partner, with representatives to support you, answering your questions and offering advice. WVEA provides to you a professional safety net and peace of mind with resources like these:

  • Legal assistance to address questions about employment rights or benefits from attorneys who are the best in the state in employment-related law.
  • Attorney Referral Program provides you two free 30-minute consultations and a 30% discount for non-employment related matters, such as real estate, wills, traffic violations and consumer protections.
