A brief description of the institution’s sustainability partnerships with the local community:
Furman’s Community Conservation Corps (CCC) is a partnership among Furman University’s Heller Service Corps, Community Relations Department, and Shi Center for Sustainability, the City of Greenville, the Greenville County Redevelopment Authority, and the United Way of Greenville County, along with other stakeholders, to provide home weatherization and education services to Greenville residents who qualify for assistance. Two Americorps members, supported through United Way of Greenville and Furman University, administer the program, which is also partially funded in partnership with Piedmont Natural Gas. Through this partnership, Furman students, under the guidance of Americorps members and weatherization professionals, provide education to homeowners, as well as weatherization services for homes which meet the guidelines for qualification.
