The National Energy Foundation is a really interesting and busy office to work in. There is always a lot going on with new projects running and a really great group of people to work along side.
Many people
have volunteered at NEF over the years and had
a very positive and rewarding time as well as
being a great asset to many different activities.
If
you are interested in volunteering please contact the
Volunteers
Manager, attaching a CV.
Two past volunteers have written an account of their experience - detailed below:

I volunteered at the National Energy Foundation as I felt the experience would offer an excellent foundation before starting a master’s course in Sustainable Energy Systems this coming September. My time here has proved invaluable as I have learned so much whilst working with the communities’ team on their “oldhome Superhome” project - a network of energy-efficient retro fitted homes which open during of the year with the aim to educate visitors in how to save energy and reduce their carbon foot print at home. I have enjoyed helping with the statistics gathered for the project as well as assisting with carbon accounting the whole office.
Everyone who works here are extremely friendly and I have especially enjoyed the opportunity to meet and talk to people with the same purpose – to reduce carbon emissions and stop climate change.
My placement here has been inspirational and I would recommend it to anyone wishing to gain knowledge about the sustainable energy industry.

A student volunteering during her summer holiday
I volunteered with The National Energy Foundation for 6 weeks during my summer holiday as I felt that it would compliment my course at University, and would look good on my CV. But above all I believed it was a good cause that is fundamental to today's changing environment.... continue reading

During those 6 weeks I gained far more than this, including an insight into the corporate world from experience in many different departments, and met some fascinating people with similar interests. No day was the same, and I found myself helping develop educational talks (including making the props), helping with the organisation of the Climate Challenge Show, and assisting with the day to day running of the Trade Associations which included a wide range of office duties. I found the whole experience exciting and challenging and above all rewarding. I would recommend it to anyone.
