SEEED provides youth pathways out of poverty by creating the fertile ground in development and training for sustainable careers in clean and efficient energy. This is a green community development focusing on creating and sustaining jobs for Knoxville's urban young people, and ensuring clean energy and conservation technologies are available for low income residents. Ours is a movement that grew out of kitchen table conversations in 2009, where residents (a mix of young people and adults) of Knoxville's Empowerment Zone talked about the opportunities that were developing with green jobs and how these opportunities could be used to transform the community. Young and old alike developed the idea of SEEED.
