Millions of
volunteers will unite to improve the lives of others in their communities on
Make A Difference Day of Service. The Day, October 22, is an annual event that
takes place on the fourth Saturday of every October.
Green Iowa
AmeriCorps is coordinated by the University of Northern Iowa’s Center for
Energy & Environmental Education providing residential energy audit
services to under-served communities across Iowa, weatherization services with
free materials for low-income, elderly, veterans and persons with disabilities,
and energy-related education programs to engage communities in volunteer
generation. The organization was founded in 2009 to address conservation and
sustainable usage of energy resources in several Iowa communities as they
struggled to rebuild from the devastating floods of 2008. Since the start of
the flood recovery, Green Iowa AmeriCorps has been an active community partner.
Other involvement in the community includes deconstruction projects, creating
energy educational programs for all ages, and assisting in the development of
energy-related community events.
