Who Are the Cape Cod All-Stars?

 The All-Stars Program provides an opportunity for college students (Graduate and Undergrad) and Cape Cod towns/organizations to work together on housing and climate initiatives throughout the region. Students spend a summer with a host family on the Cape, and using our sponsor, Cape Cod Community College's facilities and resources to accomplish two main goals. The first, is to develop their own research project at the intersection of affordable housing, environmental sustainability, and/or climate resilience. The second aspect our our internship involves each pair of interns to be partnered with a town on the Cape. Through this partnership, interns collect data on municipal assets, pair those with potential climate/housing tech innovators who can pilot test a solution, and complete any other town projects/initiatives related to housing, energy, or climate.
