Energy-efficiency and sustainability are important to us. Funded by Corps Network, our young people receive training in environmentally-friendly construction projects and educational support.
As we build homes through our YouthBuild program, our young people are trained energy-efficient building strategies and choices. Some of our projects include:
- energy-efficient insulation
- energy-efficient windows
- sealing air gaps
- rain gardens
- rain barrels
- weatherizing
- composting
- LED lighting
In addition, Corps Network provides education awards for young people in our summer conservation and YouthBuild programs.
