2023 Green Economies Youth Fellowship
We are recruiting for our 2023 fellowship cohort!
We’re looking for youth Fellows (between the ages of 16-24) who are interested in peer-to-peer organizing, political education around climate and environmental justice, and vocational skills to energy retrofit housing.
Our Mission
We are connecting communities to resources for energy efficiency, sustainability, and affordable homes.
Our Vision
We are a "just transition" organization focusing on democratic economies and energy independence within Birmingham and the beautiful state of Alabama. We are connecting people to resources to achieve these goals. This transition will be supported by popular education in cooperative economics and sustainable uses of energy, land, and water.

SWEET Alabama’s vision is dedicated to pragmatic solutions that can create real change in Alabama.
Our programs are designed to be implemented in partnership with affected households and communities to create lasting change.
