Green@Home has many opportunities for individuals or groups to help expand our program and learn how to make our homes more energy efficient. Green@Home starts by making small changes that add up to a significant impact - and develops the community spirit that results in policy level shifts, as well. Join us in building a grassroots movement to curb climate change! Here are the many interesting and rewarding volunteer positions:
Green@Home Housecall Volunteers
Green@Home Outreach Volunteers
Green@Home HouseCall Volunteers help hundreds of residents of Cupertino, Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Redwood City, and Sunnyvale reduce their energy use by providing free home energy audits and installing basic energy saving devices. Acterra is seeking volunteers to serve in these cities.
To become a HouseCall Volunteer, you must attend a two-part training program. A $30 deposit is required at the start of training, and will be refunded after performing a minimum of two HouseCalls within two months or so following training. Volunteers work in teams and will be expected to perform approximately two 2.5 hour HouseCalls a month with a minimum of 10 HouseCalls performed. HouseCalls are scheduled at a time that is convenient for the volunteer. [DOWNLOAD TRAINING FLYER]

Green@Home Kit Managers support the HouseCall Volunteers and help keep things running smoothly. The Kit Manager restocks and maintains the tool kits needed for HouseCalls, monitors kit availability, and provides their home as a pick up location. We are looking for a number of Kit Managers throughout our service areas of Cupertino, Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Redwood City and Sunnyvale. This is a great job for people who wish to volunteer from home. If you are interested in becoming a Green@Home Kit Manager please contact Carolyn Spitz at greenathometraining*acterra.org

If you would like to spend a few hours a week working with others at the Acterra office please contact Carolyn Spitz at greenathometraining*acterra.org
