The Green Academy is a model ‘train-the-trainer’ academy for understanding “what is energy efficiency and sustainability.” The Green Academy will provide hands-on training in energy efficiency and sustainability to 30 high school, community college, and university students in the MESA pipeline (High schools with MESA Schools Programs in San Diego and Imperial Valley, and MESA programs at San Diego City College, Southwestern College, and San Diego State University).

In addition to receiving hands on training and a training packet, the trainees will be exposed to energy efficiency and to green careers at San Diego Gas & Electric.

The Green Academy is developed, organized, and implemented by 2 MESA staff, in collaboration with the San Diego State University PowerSave Green Campus.

The goal of the Green Academy is to prepare the trainees to deliver presentations on energy efficiency and sustainability to their peers at their respective institutions. Through these school presentations, the Green Academy outreach is expected to impact over 1,000 students from kindergarten through the college level.
