The Sustainability Institute

We are a non-profit organization located in North Charleston, SC with a vision for Lowcountry communities that are sustainable, climate resilient and equitable for generations to come, a relentless passion for empowering underserved families and communities, and a belief that housing should be healthy, safe and affordable for all. Established in 1999, The Sustainability Institute (SI) strives to be a trusted partner to neighborhoods undergoing change, a place where at-risk and disadvantaged people find a voice through service-learning and a supportive environment, and a facilitator and implementer of innovative community projects that teach, demonstrate, and inspire. Our diverse portfolio of work includes sustainability consulting and planning for municipalities and private sector businesses, a broad range of green jobs/workforce training programs focused on building and home performance, a city-wide energy efficiency program, a weatherization service, and an AmeriCorps Program in its 11th year that is hard at work building the next generation of conservation leaders in our community.
