Energy Academy - Volunteer Mentor

Do you care about Climate change and what it means to your local community?

Yes, you CAN really make a difference

The Energy Academy is an exciting new initiative to deliver financial, health and environmental benefits for communities in the Altrincham area.

The Academy builds on the skills, knowledge and experience of Trafford Council, Action for Sustainable Living, Manchester: Knowledge Capital and the Energy Savings Trust to build a supported volunteer network to engage, enthuse, advise and support residents in maximising the energy efficiency of their homes.

Volunteer Mentors recruit and support volunteers to engage with members of their community about sustainability, in particular energy advice. Their role includes organising volunteer events and signposting volunteers to appropriate projects.

The role is a challenging yet rewarding one; you will develop new skills, meet new people and really feel like you are making a difference. If you are an enthusiastic, self-motivated individual able to offer 6 - 8 hours per week, why not nominate yourself for this unique opportunity?
