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. 

Cohort Model

Our Community Energy Ambassador cohorts are another way you can support community clean energy projects. Cohorts begin with a group of people coming together to learn about clean energy.

After you gather your group, discuss the Community Energy Ambassadors Cohort Plan [PDF]. The plan outlines a timeline and structure your group can follow. It includes questions to discuss together, as well as ideas for meeting topics and schedules. 

Once you have a plan, follow our Community Energy Ambassador Training Guide [PDF] to guide your cohort.

Feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss your cohort ideas: [email protected]

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.
