The Student Passport Initiative offers NECA Student Chapters learning experiences in developing communities in the United States and abroad.
How it Works
ELECTRI Council will work to identify a critical need for new or upgraded electrical service in an underprivileged domestic or international location and work with a NECA Student Chapter to complete the project.
ELECTRI Council members want to help young adults learn the value of “paying it forward” by taking their time to volunteer for projects that will make a difference in the quality of life for other people. At the same time, the Student Community Service Initiative helps advance the development of efficient and sustainable energy solutions and cultivates the professional development and personal growth of students.
