SCHOOL KIT DISTRIBUTION
School Kit Distribution
Energy efficiency and school kit programs have long been a stronghold of NTC’s education outreach portfolio. NTC brings innovation, high-quality expertise and best practices to the implementation of our clients’ kit programs.
Consistency is key to NTC’s implementation approach. Regardless of the program size, we employ:
- Strategic school-by-school recruitment
- Thorough energy literacy program engagement with school communities
- Relentless outreach to gain teacher and students surveys on kit distribution and measure installation
- Positive maintenance of the utility and customer relationship
- A high level of care and attention for each detail throughout the implementation process
NTC maintains strong working relationships with kit distribution companies. Those relationships become an asset for our clients in securing energy saving measures. From ideation through the production and execution phases, as well as in smooth transitions for multi-year programs, NTC ensures a high-level of quality control and service. Since 2010, we have helped utility partners secure over 20,560 MWh savings.
What our clients say:
"Live theather is a really dynamic way to teach students, especially when you combine it with curriculum activities, in-class discussion and homework assignments that engage parents. We've been working with NTC for over 20 years to deliver out electrical safety and energy messages into the schools. It's been a great partnership and an effective way of reaching students."

Director of the Minnesota Power Foundation, Minnesota Power
"We get such great response from everyone who sees a performance – teachers, students, bank employees. We’ve even had customers walk into a local branch and thank us for bringing the program into their schools! There’s a tremendous level of appreciation, especially in smaller communities that typically have fewer options for this kind of programming. I’m proud that Bank of the West has made a financial commitment to take Mad About Money into the schools. While it’s certainly done a lot to create a positive image for the bank, I’m proudest of the positive impact that the program has had on our students."
Christine Hensley
VP of Community and Government Affairs, Bank of the West
"I find all of the material easy to follow and the charts, graphs and comments in the final report clearly articulate the impact this show has had with the students and teachers in our service territory. Not only do I have the material I need to meet with my leadership, but also am now prepared to meet with the department that funds the program and is responsible to report our outcomes to the PSC. While the show is a small part of the work that FPL does to educate customers about energy conservation, it is one that is highly visible and we appreciate the partnership with NTC. The show is now the easiest part of what I manage, and this allows me to focus on new programs and issues in education."

Theatre is extraordinarily effective and FMI attendees see the positive impact on reputation for sponsors teaching students about nutrition, messages that are delivered right in their school."
