2022-2023 Adopt Clean Energy Volunteers - Mount Vernon

The Urban League of Westchester is looking for volunteers to assist with its Adopt Clean Energy campaign. Volunteers with skills in marketing, communications, outreach, education, volunteer engagement, development, and event planning are especially needed to help educate Mount Vernon residents and organizations about the benefits of transitioning to clean energy for home/property heating and cooling. Volunteers will engage in tasks such as handing out informational fliers at outdoor farmers' markets and answering phone calls (remote/from home) about the campaign. Volunteers will receive training approved by NYSERDA. Volunteers will be working within the Mount Vernon community, but this opportunity can take place virtually/remotely during COVID.

ADOPT CLEAN ENERGY is a New York State Energy and Research Development Authority (NYSERDA) sponsored initiative to help homeowners and other building owners transition from fossil fuel for home heating to cleaner, greener alternatives. Home heating and cooling contribute approximately 441 tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere annually. According to the EPA, roughly 13% of all greenhouse gases produced are attributed to home heating. We can dramatically reduce fuels' (oil, gas, propane, wood, and coal) damaging effects by transitioning to heat pumps. Let’s save EARTH for our children! Learn more about ADOPT CLEAN ENERGY here.
