Community Energy Ambassadors

Engaging Minnesotans to support clean energy projects within their communities.

Community Energy Ambassadors advance clean energy projects within their communities.

Gain access to the knowledge and skills needed to help others meaningfully participate in the clean energy transition.  You'll support communities in their efforts to start clean energy projects with relevant resources and connections. As community members engage in energy decision making, their voices will be well-informed and centered in the priorities of their community.

 

Community Energy Ambassador Paths

We want Community Energy Ambassadors to be well-versed in all areas of energy efficiency and renewable energy. You don't have to be an expert, you just need to be curious and open to learning. We also offer options for how you complete the training: cohort model or self-directed path. 

While we learn from the current cohort of organizations working through the program, we're developing a mini-cohort model. This will offer a flexible way for you to complete the training with a group of neighbors, friends, or colleagues!

Self-Directed Training

Online training allows anyone to explore the Ambassadors program.

You can complete the training checklist on your terms, according to your timeline. To become CERTified, you'll complete a project that will support community-led clean energy efforts.

Engagement Resources

We provide resources and tools that will help communities understand how clean energy can be a solution to challenges they face.

From handouts to videos, we work with clean energy experts to provide accurate and relevant resources for you to learn from and share. You don't have to be a CERTified Community Energy Ambassador to access these tools. They're available for everyone
