Opportunity Details

Keep Folks Warm! Build Winter Weatherization Kits (age 8+) *Hands On*

Every heating season Community Energy Project conducts over 40 FREE do-it-yourself weatherization workshops in the Portland area. These hands-on workshops cover low cost energy-saving techniques, how to install low cost draft stopping materials, and how to find more resources. Here we also give away FREE weatherization kits of $100 value to over 800 local households experiencing a low income each season.

We need a great group of volunteers to help us build kits -- they are flying out the door as quickly as we can assemble them! Join us for ‘weatherization kit building party’ and take pride in helping people get the vital materials they need to stay warm AND in their homes.

No prior experience necessary! We provide all materials, training, and support for all of our volunteers throughout the project.

Please wear closed-toed shoes, and be prepared to sweat a bit at we assemble about 300 kits.

Community Energy Project, Inc., empowers people in the Portland metro area to maintain healthier, more liveable homes, control their utility costs, and conserve natural resources. We do this through education, hands-on training, and distribution of weatherization, water conservation, and lead poisoning prevention materials. We also provide direct weatherization and water conservation services to seniors and people with disabilities. We deliver these services in partnership with community members and service organizations, utilities, corporations, foundations, and government agencies. We envision a future where all people can afford to live in their homes with dignity, comfort, and safety.
