Rising Sun will be offering one of our two core programs-Climate Careers. Our program offers a no-cost service, the Green House Call (GHC), to local households. GHCs consist of an energy and water audit and installations of energy and water-saving devices. Climate Careers employs youth Energy Specialists, ages 15-24 from low-income households, to perform these audits and installations over a 6-week period.
After successfully completing the GHC program, the youth are paid to complete additional 120 hours of project-based work with a host partner in the green economy. Our innovative mission combines residential energy efficiency services with youth employment, professional development, and pathways to success.
