THE GREATER TOLEDO COMMUNITY FOUNDATION’S (GTCF) SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVE LEVERAGES THE TWO RECENTLY CONSTRUCTED OVERLAND SOLAR ARRAYS TO LAUNCH A DIVERSE COLLECTION OF EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES DESIGNED TO PROMOTE THE INTERSECTION BETWEEN WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, RENEWABLE ENERGY AND COMMUNITY ACTIVISM IN ORDER TO SHOWCASE EMERGING AVENUES FOR GREATER PROSPERITY IN COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED HISTORIC DISINVESTMENT. IN ADDITION TO EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING FOCUSED ON EMPLOYMENT IN THE CLEAN ENERGY AND ADVANCED MANUFACTURING FIELDS, THE PROJECT WILL ALSO ACTIVATE STORYTELLING APPROACHES TO EXPLAIN SUSTAINABLE ENERGY’S ROLE IN PHILANTHROPY, GRANTMAKING AND RESIDENT-LED NEIGHBORHOOD ENHANCEMENTS.
