The new team of GRID IE\u2019s Outreach SolarCorps<\/a> Fellows includes Rachel Norwood, Tracy Ruiz, and Nicole Villaneuva. They are already actively seeking clients for GRID\u2019s Solar Affordable Housing Program through community events, networking, and canvassing Inland Empire neighborhoods. \u201cI found GRID\u2019s mission to provide diverse, underserved communities with free solar systems to be awe-inspiring,\u201d said Rachel. \u201cAs a person who has volunteered in disadvantaged communities and fought for equity, I found GRID to be closely aligned with my own personal values.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tracy Ruiz also brings experience working with low-income homeowners to GRID. She understands how families can struggle to make ends meet after purchasing a home. Tracy mentioned utility bills represent a challenge, especially in the Inland Empire where temperatures routinely soar above 100\u02daF. \u201cGRID offers these families the opportunity to save on their electric bill while positively contributing to cleaner air,\u201d Tracy said. \u201cAs a SolarCorps Fellow, I will use my skills to identify homeowners and assist them through the application process.\u201d <\/p>\n

For Nicole Villaneueva, GRID\u2019s reputation and presence in the communities she has lived was a motivating factor in her decision to pursue a SolarCorps position. Nicole brings to GRID skills developed in civic engagement, pushing social change through open, honest, and passionate communication. \u201cI used these skills while working at a philanthropic foundation, an experience that really piqued my passion for helping people and changing the world for the better,\u201d Nicole commented. \u201cI figure the best place for me to shine is my own hometown and I\u2019m excited to work at GRID IE to build a healthier and happier community.\u201d <\/p>\n

If you are someone who could benefit from a no-cost GRID solar system or know others who may qualify, what are you waiting for? Contact Rachel, Tracy, Nicole or someone on GRID IE\u2019s outreach team today and start the process. Call 951.272.4743 or email ieoutreach@gridalternatives.org<\/a> to begin your path towards energy savings.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
