To educate its community about clean energy and build homegrown leaders, the Center for Energy Education is partnering with Vote Solar to host a paid summer learning opportunity for Halifax County collegiates.
C4EE will host an information session to share details about a summer internship to learn about clean energy and pathways to address issues related to the energy burden including too high electricity bills.
C4EE and Vote Solar staff will be at C4EE’s Roanoke Rapids campus on Monday at 5 p.m. for an hour-long discussion for information about accelerating the transition to clean energy in Halifax County. The campus is located at 460 Airport Road.
Students from Halifax County will work within the community to drive resilient solar solutions such as weatherization to support the needs, health and well-being of its residents.
