The National Center for Appropriate Technology is seeking non-profit organizations, schools and public agencies in Arkansas to host Energy Corps AmeriCorps members for the 2014-2015 program year.
“The host requirements are minimal, and members serve for a year in their host organizations,” said Dan Dean, Energy Corps AmeriCorps coordinator for Arkansas, said. “The members are energetic, committed and passionate about changing the world, and can make a significant impact at a low cost.”
Serving as an Energy Corps AmeriCorps host site provides an opportunity to improve organizational and community capacity to address local energy needs. The Energy Corps also provides members with hands-on training and skills development to pursue a career in a green-collar workforce.
Energy Corps members can assist organizations working in the sustainable energy field by providing hands-on assistance, including weatherization and conservation activities; energy assessments, audits and consultations, and alternative and renewable energy activities. Members can also conduct educational presentations, and offer events and trainings in energy efficient and environmentally conscious practices.
