Rising Sun Center for Opportunity

Rising Sun Center for Opportunity is a premier workforce development and community resilience non-profit serving the Bay Area and San Joaquin County. They offer two programs, Climate Careers and Opportunity Build, that give youth and adults the training and experience they need to access sustainable career pathways and maximize their potential.

The organization’s Climate Careers program offers a no-cost service, the Green House Call, to local Bay Area households. Green House Calls consist of an energy and water audit and installations of energy and water-saving devices such as LED Lightbulbs, showerheads, bathroom/kitchen faucet aerators, smart powerstrips, and more. Climate Careers employs youth Energy Specialists, ages 15-24 from low-income households, to perform these audits and installations.
