[GAINPOWER.org: Jobs That Are Left] Help tackle Climate Change! Energy Census Outreach Staff $15/hr (Amherst, MA)

The Outreach Team is a field firm specializing in face-to-face canvassing operations. We fuel the nation's leading groups to raise money, collect key information from supporters, register voters, and win on important elections.

We are currently seeking Home Energy Survey Canvassers to join us on an important and exciting campaign that will help reduce carbon emissions in Western Massachusetts. 

 

Towns in Western Massachusetts have taken the first step of setting bold goals to reduce emissions.But in order to address climate change,we  need to empower and educate home and business owners about steps they can take today to reduce emissions.


The Outreach Team is partnering with Relay Power to undertake a comprehensive energy census that will help inform homeowners what steps they can take to reduce emissions, which programs are in place to help them do that already. This will also help instruct towns in the state develop future incentives that will hasten adoption of clean technology.
