The Federal Education Association (FEA) represents and advocates for educators and staff in Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) schools worldwide. Our mission is to protect the rights of employees, strengthen collective bargaining, and ensure every military-connected student has access to a high-quality education.
Collective Bargaining
FEA negotiates and enforces contracts that guarantee fair pay, benefits, and workplace protections. These agreements give educators and staff a voice in their schools and provide stability for both employees and students.
Advocacy
We speak out on behalf of DoDEA educators at every level—local, national, and international. FEA defends employee rights, fights for resources that schools need, and works to ensure educators are respected as professionals.
Human & Civil Rights
FEA educators and their students come from diverse backgrounds and communities around the world. We advocate for social justice, equity, and equal access for education employees and students alike.
