I’m pleased to announce that the 2025 application for the ComEd Energy Force Ambassador Program is now open through Friday, November 1st. This is a one-of-a-kind program that trains adults with developmental disabilities to serve as ambassadors for ComEd's Energy Efficiency Program. Energy Force was the country's first energy-efficiency education program taught by people with disabilities. Selected ambassadors will engage with our customers and help them understand the benefits of energy efficiency and solar options.
Organizations selected to participate in the Energy Force program will receive $7,500 to cover costs, including an ambassador stipend for their participation (amount is at the discretion of the recipient organization) and any staff, travel, or other costs associated with event coordination.
The application, guidelines, and more information regarding the Energy Force program can be found here. Please feel free to share this great opportunity with your stakeholders and highlight the November 1st deadline. The following organizations are currently represented in our 2024 cohort:
