Organization and Program:
Rising Sun Center for Opportunity (formerly known as Rising Sun Energy Center) is a premier nonprofit organization working at the intersection of economic equity and climate resilience in the greater California Bay Area since 1994.
Our Climate Careers program (formally known as California Youth Energy Services) offers a no-cost service, the Green House Call, to local residences. Green House Calls consist of an energy and water audit and installations of energy- and water-saving devices. Climate Careers employs youth Energy Specialists, ages 15-22 from low-income households and/or disadvantaged circumstances, to perform these audits and installations. Our innovative mission combines residential energy efficiency services with youth employment, development, and pathways to success.

The Site Program Manager (SPM) position implements the Climate Careers program in a specific county, or set of counties, in the greater Bay Area while also supporting the overall goals of the Climate Careers program.
