Workshops
Participants in our Energy Equity Workshop in partnership with Chispa Arizona, Wildfire, and SWEEP

Vote Solar supports organizations working to build a base of energy advocates with community workshops on energy policy issues.

 

Supporting Community Power: Our workshops provide information about the current energy system, the transition to a clean energy economy, and how participants can be advocates for the transition they want to see in coordination with local organizations.

Sharing Community Wisdom: These workshops serve as a forum for communal knowledge sharing. Vote Solar staff learn from community members about local energy priorities and concerns, informing our ongoing advocacy with our partners for a more equitable energy system.

Meeting Community Needs: Our partners know best how to serve their community members. We flexibly adapt workshop content and structure to meet the needs of our partners.
