Veronica N | Solar StoriesMarch 7, 2017345

Teams of 10 to 12 students from each school will travel to different project sites around the U.S. and spend the week on a combination of solar installations, neighborhood outreach, renewable energy educational activities, and recreation.

“Solar Spring Break gives students who are passionate about renewable energy the chance to see the solar technology in action building more resilient communities,” says GRID Alternatives CEO and co-founder Erica Mackie. “We’re helping shape the climate leadership of tomorrow.”

Students who complete the program will also have access to mentorship opportunities, educational resources, and solar industry job openings through the Solar Energy Industries Association, which is partnering with GRID Alternatives for the first time this year to help make career connections for students wanting to continue in renewable energy.
