Renewable Energy Education

TREC’s Vision is to create a world in which everyone is fully aware of the link between their energy habits and environmental impacts and all people have a clear and easy choice for participating in renewable energy and conservation activities. Since 2003, TREC has been offering renewable energy tours, curriculm-linked workshops and hands-on activities to over 12,000 students, youth and families each year. We offer the following programs through our Education Program:
