Volunteers

The Bay Area has been lucky enough to have amazing volunteers and interns over the years. We want to introduce you to one of our current awesome Bay Area Construction interns, Robin Htun, who found GRID, moved across the country and started volunteering. In the future, he’s hoping to establish solar as the conventional source of energy in his home country of Myanmar. At home in Myanmar, the country is just beginning to grow their energy infrastructure and Robin believes bringing renewable energy technology into the forefront is imperative. Read on to learn more about Robin’s journey with GRID and his passions.

This month we would like to spotlight Ernest Ray Richardson (Ernie), one of our dedicated and versatile board members for GRID Alternatives Central Valley office. In his life, Ernie has obtained a wealth of experience and knowledge from serving in the U. S. Air Force, a U. S. Postal Clerk, an owner of an income tax service, to the Housing Program Supervisor for the City of Modesto until his retirement in October 2003, just to name a few of the diverse jobs in his career. However, retirement did not stop his service to the community.
