Become an Ambassador for a Clean Energy Future

CCSE is tremendously grateful for all the help volunteers give throughout the year.  As a growing nonprofit organization, we rely on our volunteers to help us maintain our outreach efforts, ensuring that we continue to engage the public and educate them on our ever expanding programs.

We call our volunteers "Ambassadors" because they give more than just their time.  They are an extension of our organization, acting as our delegates out in the community and helping to further our mission.

Overview of Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers are needed year around to work at our offices in Kearny Mesa and participate in other community events throughout San Diego.

We offer volunteer opportunities for both individuals and groups, including many that do not require training or a lengthy time commitment, so that we can be sure to match your interests, skills, and availability. As a volunteer, you can contribute to various programs and events such as the Residential Energy Road Show, Earth Day, Community Savings Initiative, Hero Alliance, and more.

Energy affects all of us. When you volunteer, you’re making a vital contribution to the mission of CCSE and our community. Join us for a fun and rewarding experience!
