Climate Coach Program

Residents are taking advantage of the knowledge of fellow Highland Parkers. One resident who talked with a Climate Coach about installing solar panels and establishing a native garden said, “It’s a great program and I hope people will use it.” 

Do you want to:

•  “Go Green” by making your home more energy efficient?
• ·Save money with incentives for solar, insulation or appliances before they go away?
• ·Create a pollinator-friendly zone in your yard?

Our Climate Coaches are here to help you get started!

Sign up to talk with a Highland Park Climate Coach! Climate coaches are neighbors who have implemented a variety of different solutions to make their homes more efficient and climate friendly. Sessions can take place via a phone call or in-person and take around 30 minutes. Coaches are volunteers and are not affiliated with any vendors or contractors they recommend.
