IE Solarthon is Coming to DHS on April 11, 2015
On January 24th, 2015, GRID Alternatives Inland Empire will be coming to the City of Desert Hot Springs, CA to kick off Solarthon 2015, This initial solar installation will be the first of 9, culminating in a week long installation event and block party the week of April 6 – 11, 2015. With the support of Mayor Adam Sanchez Sr. and the City of Desert Hot springs, hundreds of corporate sponsors, community organizations, job trainees, and individuals will come together to install solar for these hardworking and deserving Desert Hot Springs families during that week while increasing awareness for solar energy, healthy living, and raising vital dollars to support and sustain GRIDs work throughout the Inland Empire!

EmPOWER Our FUTURE!

The goal of our GIVE BIG RIVERSIDE campaign is to provide career pathways in solar for 20 at-risk youths. You can make a difference by donating TODAY, so that the youths can gain hands-on installation experience to get jobs
in this high-demand solar field, empower their own lives, and transform our community!

GRID Volunteers Land Solar Jobs!

GRID volunteers mixed it up with hundreds of solar companies, energy and other professionals at GRID IE's Green Mixer job fair held in conjunction with the Southern California Energy Summit networking reception this Fall. The spirited event brought together solar companies looking for qualified talent and our trained and ready-to-work volunteers. Our volunteers stood out among the crowd with the hundreds of hands-on solar installation hours they gained with GRID and left with super big smiles as they all got multiple job interviews!

Inspired by the dawn
Here in Shannon County, South Dakota, poverty is endemic, perpetuated by substandard housing and lack of economic infrastructure. In the Pine Ridge reservation and surrounding communities, a growing population of Native youth struggles with uncertain opportunity. Tribal and community leaders are facing these obstacles down by embarking on a path of sustainable community development that embraces cultural values and self-determination.
