Help us to promote a greener, cleaner NC!
NC GreenPower is a nonprofit improving our state’s environment by supporting renewable energy, carbon offset projects and providing grants for solar installations at K-12 schools.
We will be attending the Durham Earth Day Festival and will need help staffing an outreach table where event attendees can ask questions and learn more about NC GreenPower.
At our outreach table we will have eco-friendly giveaways such as recycled newspaper pencils, cups, coloring books, brochures etc. as well as displays, banners, maps and pictures of our solar schools installations and renewable energy displays. We will also have a small solar panel at the table for demonstration purposes and some type of educational hands on activity. We have 2 hour shifts available.
Your responsibilities would include engaging people who stop by the outreach table, telling them about our program, helping with the educational activity, give out NC GreenPower swag and just promote awareness about our program. If they have specific questions that you don’t feel comfortable answering please give them one of our business cards and/or refer them to our website.
We will provide you with an online training video to learn more about NC GreenPower once you sign up.
