Good morning, esteemed EIC members,

There is one week left to apply for the 2019 round of the Energy Navigator program. We have 9 great applicants so far, and hope to have at least double that come the end of next week. 

However, none of them so far are from the town of Caroline! As you know, we're planning on training and supporting at least 2-3 Navigators to work specifically w/ the town's project. And it would be best if the Navigators were familiar with the town and had (good) relationships there. 

An announcement you can forward on to folks can be found below, with more info on our website.

Wishing you all the best!
Karim

Become an Energy Navigator  - Help people reduce energy use & bills & transition to renewables!


This hands-on and in-depth training prepares volunteer Energy Navigators to help others in the community understand their energy use and make progress towards reducing energy use and bills, and switching from fossil fuels to renewables. Focus is on helping low- and moderate-income residents--both homeowners and renters--save energy and money.


Navigators will learn about programs and options that can help homeowners and renters cut down on their energy use and bill, reduce their carbon footprint. Topics include understanding energy bills, home energy efficiency, renewable heating, solar energy, transportation alternatives, and more.


Applications are due March 13th, and training begins on April 10th, 2019. A limited number of stipends are available to support the engagement of underserved groups. For more information and to apply, visit www.getyourgreenbacktompkins.org/navigators, or contact Karim Beers at kw...@cornell.edu or 272-2292.


Energy Navigators is a program of Get Your GreenBack Tompkins with the support of NYSEG & Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tompkins County.
