About Energy Service Corps - The future of Wisconsin’s energy use is at a pivotal point. Reliance on old-fashioned, dirty energy sources harms our public health and environment and results in high energy bills. Energy efficiency is the quickest and easiest way to reduce our reliance on dirty energy and the negative consequences associated with it including saving people money on their energy bills which is particularly important for the tens of thousands who have to choose between turning the heat on in the winter and food for the family.
Energy Service Corps fills a critical gap in communities by connecting people with the technology and the know how to reduce their energy use. For low income residents, we will help them connect with programs that will help them afford the energy efficiency investments that will make it so they don’t have to choose between food and heat. We use two primary strategies – education and service. In education, we’ll work to empower people, especially youth, to be energy stewards. In service, we’ll provide hands on resources that can help reduce energy use immediately.
Tactics include heading into K-12 classrooms and community group meetings to educate them, organizing community wide service events and performing simple weatherization projects to help people to start saving money right now.
A central part of the program is to recruit, train and develop student leaders to coordinate different parts of the Energy Service Corps program. These students will have the opportunity to work with professional staff to learn the skills to make a big difference and could be eligible for course credit or a small stipend.
