The City of Ann Arbor is launching the A2ZERO Ambassador program this fall. This 9-week training program will provide insights, connections, collaboration opportunities, and information for individuals interested in helping the community achieve our goal of a just transition to community-wide carbon neutrality by 2030. Roughly 15-20 individuals will be selected to participate in our first Ambassador cohort.
No sustainability or climate experience needed. All are welcome to apply! The first event of the ambassadors is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 18.
