You may have heard that Energy Masters is evolving into EcoAmbassadors. We are excited to announce EcoAmbassadors, a new climate and energy-centered volunteer training and community engagement program. The EcoAmbassador program will bring together volunteers who are passionate about helping neighbors commit to personal activities that will make our neighborhoods and homes healthier and more livable. The EcoAmbassadors training is centered on the City of Alexandria Energy and Climate Change Action Plan and Arlington’s Community Energy Plan and related climate strategies. Specific focus areas include reducing energy use and electrifying the home, shifting to eco-friendly transportation choices, and minimizing waste.

EcoAmbassadors is managed by EcoAction Arlington and the Virginia Cooperative Extension with support from Arlington County and the City of Alexandria.

• Volunteers ages 16 and up are encouraged to apply.
• The fee for the program is $110 (free for students).
• Deadline for applications is September 24 (early bird deadline is September 13).
