Program Summary
Site improvements will enable us to continue our work. The SLI's current list of programs include workshops, learning festivals, the Solar Living Center (SLC) as a demonstration site, and Earth Day for Kids which hosts between 400-500 students annually with hands-on experience in such topics as photovoltaic system design, strawbale construction, and passive solar design. Events can attract up to 10,000 people annually to enjoy speakers, workshops exhibits, electric vehicle parades and other educational activities. The SLC, visited by over 300,000 annually, demonstrates many components of sustainable living including renewable energy, solar and eco-friendly building techniques, the use of recycled and sustainable resources, organic gardening and permaculture concepts. An increasing amount of interactive displays on site educate children and other visitors in a fun and engaging manner. We also provide have an international internship program that hosts 25 interns annually.
