How We Got Started
The Local Energy Alliance Program (LEAP) is a non-profit organization founded in 2009 with a mission to advance energy efficiency and sustainability in our community. LEAP was born out of a growing concern for environmental sustainability and the desire to reduce energy costs for local residents and businesses. Our vision is to create a more energy-efficient and resilient community, reducing our carbon footprint while improving the quality of life for all.
LEAP's primary goal is to empower individuals and organizations to make smart energy choices that benefit both the environment and their wallets. We offer a wide range of services, from home energy assessments to solar installations, helping our community reduce energy consumption and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
Energy Audits and Home Upgrades: LEAP offers free and low-cost energy audits to residents, identifying energy-saving opportunities, and connecting them to resources for improvements like weatherization, HVAC upgrades, and solar installations.
Community Education and Outreach: We conduct workshops, training sessions, and public awareness campaigns to empower residents and businesses to make informed decisions about their energy use.
Workforce Development: Our organization helps train and certify local contractors and energy professionals in energy-efficient building practices, creating job opportunities while enhancing the local green workforce.
