Exciting opportunity to join MassEnergize, a dynamic non-profit supporting community actions on climate change in Massachusetts. MassEnergize is a volunteer-led non-profit that provides community leaders with tools and support to motivate their residents, businesses and local organizations to take individual and collective action to lower emissions, build community, and improve local resilience. The climate emergency is here and we must be visible and vocal in our actions to respond. While a growing percentage of Americans believe that climate change is real and demand a response, many feel that the actions they have the most control over, their household actions, don’t make a difference. This is a deep individual disempowerment and a missed opportunity for collective action. In most communities, residential actions account for the majority of greenhouse gas emissions. Household-level climate action, propelled at scale, is critical if we hope to meet our climate goals and address our systemic inequalities. Local leaders are in a position to deeply change and empower their communities, but they struggle through lack of effective and affordable engagement tools.
MassEnergize seeks to fill this need with our flagship offering: a customizable web platform to support community engagement and track reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. We also develop materials and playbooks to support community engagement, and host a growing peer-to-peer network. Currently, we are working with 14 communities in Boston MetroWest and Western Massachusetts, with plans to expand to many more.
Opportunities include the following. Please direct all questions and applications to info@massenergize.org.
