Montana Americorps LogoThe Montana Energy Corps AmeriCorps project is an initiative of the National Center for Appropriate Technology (NCAT) in cooperation with The Corporation for National and Community Service that was created to address unmet community energy needs by promoting sustainable energy consumption and education, fostering community sustainability and helping to mitigate the effects of global climate change.

Energy Corps members are placed in host organizations in communities throughout the state of Montana to implement solutions for sustainable energy consumption.

Montana Energy Corps has three project goals:

Hands-On Energy Assistance: Montana Energy Corps members provide hands-on energy efficiency and alternative energy assistance to underserved Montana communities and groups.

Energy Education and Outreach: Energy Corps members create energy awareness through education and outreach activities to those groups and communities most affected by energy and climate fluctuations.

Community Energy Planning and Organizing: Energy Corps members work to form energy action networks and organize communities to develop sustainable strategic energy plans.
