The award-winning Arlington Energy Masters program is offering volunteers the opportunity to learn techniques for improving energy and water efficiency in affordable housing apartment buildings. An excellent model for energy efficiency, community engagement, and volunteer activism, the program offers:

• Hands-on training in energy efficiency and weatherization techniques including sealing air leaks around doors, windows, and electrical switch plates; installing low-flow faucet aerators and shower heads; and installing flow restrictors in toilets.
• The opportunity to meet other like-minded volunteers.
• Energy efficiency tips you can use in your own home.
• A way to give back to the community and help Arlington's neediest families.

 

Applications are now being accepted with a deadline of July 31. The training takes place in September and October 2013 beginning September 26. The program includes both a community volunteer track and a student apprenticeship track for high school and college students. The program sponsors are Arlington Thrive, Arlingtonians for a Clean Environment, and Virginia Cooperative Extension. More information: www.arlingtonenvironment.org or 703-228-6427.
