Join us for the City of Surprise Day of Service on Saturday, October 19th. Benevilla is a local human services nonprofit organization based in Surprise and is partnering with the City of Surprise for this important event! We will be having a campus wide clean up event for our main campus located off of Greasewood Ave. in Surprise. Bring your work gloves and join us for a few hours helping to beautify our campus and the City of Surprise. Weeds need to be pulled, bushes trimmed and some leveling of dirt. Trash pick up and bag all for removal. We have an amazing campus, but our entrance needs some TLC. Weeds are blocking the line of sight pulling out on the street from parking lot, which is becoming a safety hazard.

Please bring work gloves and we will need extra hoes, rakes and shovels if you have any.

Thanks and we appreciate your support!

Position Details:
Title: Program Fellow
Reports to: Managing Director
Length of Assignment: 1-12 months
Suggested start dates: Any
Positions Open: 8
If interested: Send CV and cover letter to jessica@potentialenergy.org

About the Position: We are currently seeking motivated, passionate, hard-working individuals to join us as Potential Energy Program Fellows in a wide range of areas. Fellows may choose which aspects of work they would like to contribute to, and whether they can work remotely, or join us in Uganda. We tailor the program to the fellows, to make it as relevant as possible.

About Us: Founded in 2007, Potential Energy is a social enterprise based out of Kampala, Uganda that works to increase the adoption of improved cookstoves in developing countries, to alleviate poverty and protect the environment.

Background on the Problem:
Cooking on inefficient, traditional open fires is the leading environmental cause of death in the world. Preparing 3 meals a day over an open fire – a common practice in the developing world – is the equivalent of smoking 200 cigarettes, every single day. Yet, 3 billion people cook their daily meals over an open fire, creating pollution that kills 4.3 million people each year. Traditional fires waste fuel, contribute to deforestation, release carbon into the atmosphere, and waste money and time. In Sub-Saharan Africa, it is not uncommon for families to spend a large portion of their income – sometimes up to 30%, on cooking fuel, perpetuating the cycle of poverty.

Impact to date: Distributed over 50,000 cookstoves in Africa/Asia impacting the lives of 300,000 people, saving 750,000 tons of carbon, $17 million in firewood expenses, and over 2,000 hours.

Candlelighters Fun Walk is our largest family fundraiser of our event year. Families of children with cancer come together in honor of their child to raise funds to pay it forward to families who find themselves along similar journeys. The event hosts more than 500 people and raises more than $200,000 for Candlelighters, a local Houston non-profit that provides every day support to children with cancer.
100% of profits raised through the Fun Walk will be used to directly impact the lives of children with cancer and their families specifically by sending approximately 50 families to our family camp (Camp CLIFF) in the fall. Thank you for being a part of this mission!

This family-friendly event takes regional residents on a journey along one of the area’s top trail networks. During this event, participants will enjoy cycling from Montoursville to South Williamsport along the 10.5-mile network of trails along the Susquehanna River Valley. Along the way, they will learn about trail amenities, parks, future trail connections, neighboring communities, and the health benefits of cycling. A youth bike rodeo and 1-mile fun ride will also take place to provide younger cyclists with the opportunity to fine tune their skills.

This is much more than a cycling event; it is a hands-on experience and an introduction to the trail network, communities, and organizations within our area. This year we are expecting 100 participants and 20 volunteers to take part.
