Faith Communities Go Green aims to raise $15,000 to support our mission to reduce environmental impact. We are excited to announce that we are hiring a dedicated part-time Program Manager for six months. This individual will play a crucial role in implementing and overseeing low-level energy assessments at local congregations. However, we need funding to extend the Program Manager’s position for an additional six months.
Faith Communities Go Green is a collaboration between Green Umbrella and EquaSion. Our organization is dedicated to mobilizing faith communities in the region to take proactive steps in addressing climate change. The Program Manager we are hiring will focus on assisting congregations of various faiths in forming “green teams” and guiding them in implementing actions that mitigate the crisis. This includes conducting low-level energy assessments, tracking energy costs, and implementing energy-efficient measures within their facilities. To ensure the success of this initiative, we have enlisted the expertise of a professional energy specialist who will train a group of dedicated volunteers to conduct the energy assessments. The Program Manager will work closely with these faith communities, overseeing the assessments, implementing energy-saving measures, and monitoring energy usage. Additionally, the Program Manager will play a vital role in developing interfaith programming that educates and activates faith communities throughout the region.
With your support, we can continue to make a positive impact in addressing climate change and fostering sustainable practices within our faith communities.
