Green Iowa AmeriCorps is one of the longest standing, farthest reaching, and most impactful community engagement programs at the University of Northern Iowa. We are very proud of the work that Green Iowa AmeriCorps members have done across Iowa over the last decade to improve energy efficiency in homes, make schools more sustainable, and implement land and water conservation projects.

But perhaps more importantly, Green Iowa AmeriCorps has given hundreds of members a community service experience from which they have launched into service-oriented professional careers that will continue to strengthen our communities for decades to come. I continue to be amazed by the work that Green Iowa AmeriCorps members do, and I am honored to work alongside the program staff and GIA members at the UNI Center for Energy and Environmental Education. Thank you, GIA!
