Javari
Energy Conservation Corps
Student, soccer player, and a future in solar energy, meet Javari. While balancing his studies in the environmental field, Javari found out about the Energy Conservation Corps from his dad, who heard about it from his Pastor. Thus far, Javari has mastered a variety of new skills, one of which being the operation of the duct blaster. Apart from learning new trades in the construction realm, the ECC has impacted him in a multitude of ways. Javari has taken his time working with the ECC as an opportunity to get his hands dirty in the much-needed industry of energy conservation. Setting his sights on solar energy and his heart in sustainability, Javari is scoring goals on and off the field. When asked what sustainability meant to him, Javari responded with “creating something that can last, something that can be self-sufficient”. As eloquent as he is concise, Javari’s interpretation of sustainability polished off what the ECC is about. It’s a mutually beneficial partnership between Corps member and homeowner creating something that can last. For homeowner, it’s the retrofitting implementations that improve their quality of life. For Corps member, it’s the education and training that provides them with a new set of skills that opens a plethora of new doors into the professional field. What do they have in common? They can both be sustained, and thus, self-sufficient. As his March graduation date is just around the corner, it goes without question that Javari’s future in the solar energy industry is looking bright.
