Volunteers are a fundamental and vital element of our Healthy Homes program.
Healthy Homes Educators make a difference in the health, safety, and environmental impact of Fort Collins homes by conducting indoor air quality assessments and education. They participate in an initial, in-depth training and have the opportunity to partake in continuing education events. Time Commitment: After the initial training, we ask all Educators to participate in an average of at least 1-2 assessments per month.
Volunteers can also serve as Neighborhood Connectors, who ensure the Healthy Homes program gets to those who would benefit the most from its offerings. These volunteers visit neighborhoods and assist residents in understanding and signing up for the program.
