Solar Spring Break kicked off earlier this month. We caught up with Rionna Octaviano, a student from University of Nevada, Reno who was headed off to her fourth Solar Spring Break!
In honor of AmeriCorps Week 2019 -- and in recognition of Women's History Month -- we would like to introduce you to six incredible SolarCorps Fellows, many of them women in construction, who are serving across five GRID regions!
Solar is one of the fastest growing industries in the U.S., but there is still a ways to go before it becomes an equitable industry. That's where our "We Build" initiative comes in.
GRID Alternatives has a successful workforce model that includes a combination of fellowship and internship programs as well as volunteer and job training, which creates a vast number of opportunities for many who come through its doors.
This Veterans Day we look back on our Solar Spring Break in Sacramento with the Veteran Conservation Corp (VCC) and our interview with veteran Kim Pham, a former GRID volunteer and VCC internship coordinator.
In a piece for Earth Island Journal's Womxn and the Environment issue, GRID Alternatives' Erica Mackie says the solar industry is uniquely positioned to boost workplace diversity and improve our communities and society.
