OUR SERVICES
 

• ENERGY & COMMUNITY - We're helping Iowans become more energy efficient through residential weatherization, energy education, and community outreach services. Green Iowa AmeriCorps uses a team-based approach to provide residential weatherization services as well as energy education and energy-related community outreach efforts. As of 2016, all labor and materials are free to any individuals who qualify for a home weatherization after testing for too much air infiltration during a Home Energy Audit.

• SUSTAINABLE SCHOOLS - We are a resource and catalyst for Iowa school districts to build a more energized and sustainable future. Sustainable Schools AmeriCorps works to reduce district-wide energy costs and assist teachers and staff in implementing environmental project-based learning initiatives. We hope to train the next generation of ‘green-collar’ workers by giving them the hands-on education and experience needed to promote a more sustainable community. Members have access to free trainings, hands on skill development, and extensive community engagement. Sustainable Schools on Facebook
