Description
We are seeking a full-time SolarCorps Outreach Fellow to engage with the outreach team and help implement outreach strategy to increase the number of income-qualified clients served in regional counties. Outreach SolarCorps members will educate underserved communities impacted by environmental and economic injustice about the benefits and cost-savings of renewable energy. Members are trained and supervised by GRID's regional outreach managers to support qualifying families through the solar installation process and educate families about other energy efficiency programs before going solar. Members with this experience go on to careers in solar sales, community engagement, and other related roles.
