I dropped out of high school at age 14 and was struggling to find my place in the world. Through NMIC's GED/HSE program, I gained the academic tools necessary to continue my education, and also found mentors who helped me earn my GED, do well in community college, and get accepted to Georgetown University, where I study today and will earn my bachelor's degree.

Weatherization Assistance Program

About the Program

The Weatherization Assistance Program reduces energy costs for low-income New Yorkers by increasing the energy efficiency of their homes while ensuring their health and safety. Weatherization services reduce the amount of energy required to heat and cool homes and provide hot water, thus reducing energy consumption, while minimizing the impact of higher fuel costs on low-income families.

​
