SEEED provides pathways out of poverty for young adults through career readiness training, environmental education and community engagement.

SEEED and UT-Battelle ORNL are joining forces to build Knoxville’s next “Net Zero Energy House of the Future”

We want to thank the Aslan Foundation for donating the land that we are using to build our next solar house at 4306 Candora Avenue!
