Host Organization

Community Weatherization Coalition

Description

Join the Community Weatherization Coalition (CWC) to help our neighbors save money on their utility bills and make an impact on climate change!

The most utility-burdened households in Alachua County are paying as much as 22% of their monthly income on utility bills, compared to a county-wide average of four to five percent. The CWC addresses this disparity through a volunteer-based program which puts money back into the pockets of local families, while conserving 3.0 gigawatt hours of energy and over 11 million gallons of water each year.

More details on CWC’s Energy Coach Training:

  • 12 hour, 3-part training: October 23 and 30 (5:30-8:30pm) and Nov 2 (9am-3pm, offsite field trip)
