For our new SolarCorps, GRID is a new beginning. GRID Mid-Atlantic had six new SolarCorps join us this month: three Construction Fellows, two Outreach Fellows, and one Workforce Fellow. Joining us from a variety of backgrounds, they come together with a common interest: GRID\u2019s mission.<\/p>\n

Jeremy Gray<\/a>, a Tennessee native, is a new Construction Fellow. He learned a lot about the technical aspects of solar energy with a degree, and decided he wanted to learn how to install systems. \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to learning as much as I can – to help other people and work for a nonprofit,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Keyvon Holmes<\/a>, the new Construction Fellow, joins us as a former Solar Works DC job trainee. After a brief time working with a local for-profit commercial solar company, he wanted to work with GRID again. Now, Keyvon will be training future trainees in the program. \u201cNow I\u2019m training people who were in the same position that I was in. So it\u2019s a way of giving back,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n

Our Construction Fellow Lacy Cooke<\/a> is a former journalist, and California native. \u201cI decided it was time to install the solar panels I\u2019ve been writing about,\u201d she notes. She is most excited about the hands-on aspect of installing solar, and is excited about being part of an organization that prioritizes the equitability of the industry.<\/p>\n

Mary Therese Snyder<\/a>, the new Workforce Development and Volunteerism Fellow, is looking forward to expanding the Women in Solar program in the Mid-Atlantic. She\u2019s already been on a roof and can\u2019t wait to get back on an install. \u201cI\u2019m really looking forward to building a relationship with the volunteers in the DC area,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\"Jeremy<\/p>\n

Nikki Mammano<\/a>, the new Single-Family Outreach Fellow, is also looking forward to forming relationships with the community. She\u2019s already been on an Outreach site visit, and loved seeing how excited the potential client was. \u201cI was really drawn to GRID\u2019s commitment to equity in the solar industry,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n

Priyanka Bist<\/a>, GRID\u2019s new Outreach Program Fellow, was also drawn to GRID\u2019s environmental justice mission. As a member of the multi-family outreach team, she is excited to work on the technical aspects of setting up large community solar projects.<\/p>\n

We are excited to see what our new SolarCorps Fellows will accomplish this year!<\/p>\n

The SolarCorps Fellowship Program is part of the AmeriCorps network of programs. SolarCorps is made possible with funding support from AmeriCorps, AmeriCorps VISTA, and Bank of America. AmeriCorps is a program of the Corporation for National and Community Service, the federal agency for volunteering, service, and civic engagement. CNCS engages millions of Americans in citizen service through its AmeriCorps and Senior Corps programs and leads the nation\u2019s volunteer and service efforts.
