PRODUCING GREEN HOMES AND CAREERS

Sequoia Community Corpsmembers in the Weatherization Program develop the skills to fill demand-driven jobs in the new green economy, while contributing to the creation of healthier households as a result of CSET's weatherization services.

The Weatherization Program works as a pathway into post-secondary education, meaningful certifications and credentials. Corpsmembers, supervised by CSET’s certified on-staff contractors, weatherize homes throughout Tulare County. This service helps low-income families have more money to spend on food, medicine and other essentials.
