Solar Futures

GRID was recognized by the 2019 Dive Awards for our Solar Futures program. By partnering with tribal communities and schools serving native students, GRID is supporting learning in science, technology, engineering and math and introducing students who face significant barriers to opportunities in the growing solar industry. 

Kanyon Martinez, a member of the Bishop Paiute Tribe, was about to graduate from Bishop Union High School in Bishop, California, last year when he heard about an internship possibility with Grid Alternatives — a nonprofit organization that brings solar installations to low-income communities, including tribes.
