Hope Broecker

Hope first started her journey at Mountain Association in 2010 as an Energy Team intern while studying Technology of Industrial Design at Berea College. Her first experiences around energy and community development really began with doing energy upgrades in houses while working in disaster recovery with and alongside AmeriCorps. Hope has done extensive work with volunteers and construction management during her time at Habitat for Humanity and has a huge curiosity for building science. Her passion is in strengthening community partners and resources, particularly in rural and remote areas. She believes in the power of service and is drawn towards the outdoors, which led her to pursue her Masters in Recreation and Parks Administration at Eastern Kentucky University in 2022. Hope rejoined the Mountain Association in 2023 and is excited about the opportunity to continue to serve and explore Eastern Kentucky. She has a Building Performance Institute Building Analyst Technician (BA-T) certification and is a certified Building Operator.
