Volunteer Positions

Positions: Volunteer with THE Network
Organization: Toronto Home Energy Network
Location: Virtual (in-person event attendance encouraged). Apply if you are a resident of Toronto, or have strong ties to a specific Toronto community.

Toronto Home Energy Network (THE Network) is a non-profit that helps Toronto homeowners get a heat pump with the support of their community.

For the climate, our comfort and our safety, it’s time to get our homes off gas.

The future is all-electric and we're looking for volunteers to help bring this better future along faster.

Why Volunteer With Us

Toronto’s homes burn A LOT of natural gas. Gas furnaces and boilers are the biggest source of pollution (and our biggest opportunity) in Toronto. Heat pumps make furnaces and boilers obsolete. Even without the climate benefits, they're modern, safe and deliver better comfort.

Ontario’s electricity is among the cleanest in the world. Heat pumps run very efficiently on electricity, so that as our grid gets greener our homes are futureproof. Our goal is simple: we explain heat pumps and how they can work in every type of home. Then we get people who have them to share their experiences with their neighbours and help them get their own. It’s a simple program, but the effects are dramatic.

Is this position for you?

No prior experience is required; however, we benefit from volunteers who are:

• Residents of Toronto or have strong ties to a specific Toronto community
• Interested in building marketing, community organizing or technical skills
• Passionate about climate action or home upgrade technology

Time Commitment

We have several Working Groups that meet every two weeks to plan volunteer activities, and we support local Partner Communities across the city of Toronto in their activities. Depending on your area of interest, we can match the time commitment to your needs.

Our Working Groups are divided into:

• Communities - In-Person Events, Community Outreach, and Tabling
• Marketing - Digital Presence, Content Creation, and Messaging Strategies
• Tech Services - Technical, Trades, and Engineering Research into Home Retrofit Challenges
