Green Iowa AmeriCorps operates through the University of Northern Iowa’s Center for Energy and Environmental Education (UNI CEEE) in Cedar Falls looking to recruit passionate and motivated individuals for an 11 month service experience in one of our service locations throughout Iowa. ​

​

Green Iowa AmeriCorps consists of three branches:  Energy & Community, Sustainable Schools and Land & Water Stewards.  Each branch of our program will provide AmeriCorps members with the unique opportunity to enhance their professional development goals, cultivate community-wide relationships, and work toward making Iowa a more sustainable, eco-nomic state.

​

• Energy & Community- members serve in a team based setting providing residential energy efficiency services to underserved populations, conducting environmental education, and engaging in community service projects.

​

• Sustainable Schools-members serve in Iowa school districts as sustainability coordinators to reduce energy and waste, support teachers and students in environment education efforts, and create project based learning opportunities.

​

• Land & Water Stewards-members create environmental education and community programming related to healthy water and land stewardship in conjunction with many local and state partners.
