East Bay Green Jobs Corps
The East Bay Green Jobs Corps (EBGJC), a collaboration between Solar Richmond, Rising Sun Energy Center and Berkeley City College, provides underprepared young adults ages 18 to 24 with soft and hard skills training, GED preparation and/or community college courses, and community service internships designed to move them into jobs and education aligned to high job growth green job sectors.
Originally an eight-week program, EBGJC recently received funding from the U.S. Department of Labor to expand to 16-weeks. Solar Richmond's portion of the program, Brighter Futures, has received generous funding from the Thomas J. Long Foundation and the Common Sense Fund, the latter which will allow Solar Richmond to work with the Mind Body Awareness Project to develop curriculum to address the trauma our participants have experienced.
