Organization and Program:
Rising Sun Center for Opportunity (formerly Rising Sun Energy Center) is a premier non-profit organization working at the intersection of economic equality and climate resilience in the greater Bay Area and San Joaquin County. We offer two programs, Climate Careers and Opportunity Build, that provide youth and adults the training and experience necessary to access sustainable career pathways and to maximize their potential.
Climate Careers (formally known as California Youth Energy Services) combines home energy-saving services with youth development. Our no-cost residential Green House Call service consists of energy and water audits and efficiency device installations, along with a client educational component. Youth program participants deliver the service to thousands of homes every year. These youth participants, ages 15-24 from disadvantaging circumstances, gain valuable experience, participate in career and sustainability-focused workshops, and earn while they learn. Climate Careers empowers young people to find career success, helps residents lower their utility bills, and strengthens communities in the face of economic and environmental challenges.
