26-27 Energy Literacy Educator

Join UCAN as our Ameri Corps Energy Literacy Educator and help our clients build better energy practices within their homes. At UCAN, we're committed to enhancing prosperity and well-being by delivering vital services that address crucial issues around safe housing & energy efficiency practices. However, without meaningful energy education, many people within our community would be unaware of the ways they can weatherize their homes and save on energy bills.

Our goal is to expand our weatherization program within the community and provide opportunities for people to learn about smart energy practices.

As the Ameri Corps Energy Literacy Educator, you'll play a pivotal role in building a clearer picture of our service region and where we can expand to. You will achieve this through a combination of research and outreach. When new communities have been identified, the Energy Literacy Educator will provide initial outreach and help develop a relationship through programming and initial client support.

Serving within this project will require a passion for public speaking and teaching efficient energy practices. You will frequently be out in the community leading fun and engaging outreach through activities, presentations, and other programming. In addition, this position will provide you the opportunity of supporting our clients who access energy assistance programs and facilitate energy classes. Your service project will be key in increasing access & educating individuals and families in Douglas County.
