Increasing Weatherization Capacity Through Leveraging National Service

Service Year Alliance recently released a free Climate & Environmental Resilience Guide that aims to provide new resources that will enable stakeholders to expand and enhance service year programming (AmeriCorps, VISTA, etc.) and partnerships in areas that present opportunities for growth. In particular, the Energy Efficiency Roadmap linked within the guide provides a detailed overview of the ways in which service year programming can be leveraged to help advance weatherization and energy efficiency goals at the state and local level. Examples include partnering with service year programs to develop a talent pipeline; assist with community outreach, education, or client intake; assist with coordination and communication amongst partners; and increase WAP contractor capacity by assisting in entry-level WAP services. Join NASCSP, NCAP, and Service Year Alliance to hear more about what is contained within this free resource as well as real-world examples of existing partnerships and opportunities.
