Community-Based Organization Partnerships
What is a Community-Based Organization (CBO)?
A Community-Based Organization (CBO) is a local group dedicated to serving its community—through education, outreach or direct services. Our partnerships with CBOs help expand access to clean energy programs, create lasting relationships and drive meaningful change in the communities we serve.
