EnergySmart CNY welcomes new volunteers to help us in our mission of providing CNY residents with resources that save energy, lower utility costs, and reduce their carbon footprint. Most volunteer roles focus on outreach efforts and community events that connect residents with energy-saving programs and resources. As a volunteer, you may help set up and support workshops, staff an outreach table at community events, collect testimonials from past program participants, and assist with other engagement activities.
EnergySmart CNY participates annually with PEACE Inc., for their back to school backpack giveaway for students and families in the City of Syracuse. We take great care in putting together useful tools and supplies that prepare students for the school year and are seeking dedicated volunteers to assist with preparations. Volunteers may also support efforts to build relationships by helping connect community organizations with program partners and resources at the Giveaway at the end of August if interested!
Our Energy Efficiency Workshops (EEWs) are community presentations with energy-saving tips and programs that can help residents of CNY save money year-round, such as insulation, air sealing, solar programs, and alternative electric heating (heat pumps). We also give away free DIY energy kits (valued at $40) to participants and guidance on enrolling in energy saving programs available through New York State. We take great care in preparing educational materials for these workshops and would love the the help of dedicated volunteers in our preparations to provide a quality experience for all attendees.
Volunteering with us offers valuable benefits, including community service credit, resume-building skills, networking opportunities, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the CNY community.
