At GRID Alternatives, we&#8217;re committed to ensuring that diverse women are visible in solar. That&#8217;s a mission we cherish in Greater Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p>This Women&#8217;s History Month, we feel excited that we played a central role bringing the community together for solar at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.downtownwomenscenter.org\" target=\"_blank\">Downtown Women&#8217;s Center<\/a>&#8216;s supportive housing on San Pedro Street.<\/p>\n<p>GLA&#8217;s Guadalupe Vazquez, Multifamily SolarCorps Construction Fellow, was one of the team members who led KPMG, Foley &amp; Lardner, and Warner Bros. to lay modules on the DWC roof. Relatively new to solar, Lupe&#8217;s gone from being a <a href=\"http:\/\/homeboyindustries.org\" target=\"_blank\">Homeboy<\/a> trainee to a leader.<\/p>\n<p>Lupe helps all kinds of individuals get their first experience on a worksite. &#8220;The install was a great weekend, because I saw up close and personal how some the ladies at the Center appreciated us,&#8221; she says. &#8220;We had volunteers coming from partners [to install], and many are women who spend most days in office jobs. For them, getting hands-on with the construction for a nonprofit was lots of fun.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A year ago, Lupe thought she wanted to be a nurse. But thanks to one-of-a-kind training opportunities and her own persistence, now she&#8217;s an inspiration to all of us who admire talented women in construction!<\/p>\n<p>Strong solar industry women in L.A.: We honor your leadership &amp; talent!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Strong solar industry women in L.A.: We honor your leadership &#038; talent!<\/p>","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":5636,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"audience":[],"content-type":[12],"focus-area":[36],"region":[16],"series":[],"content-author":[],"class_list":["post-6751","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","content-type-news","focus-area-women-in-solar","region-southern-california"],"acf":{"hero_media_type":"image","hero_media_image":null,"hero_media_url":"","hero_media_poster":null,"hero_video_play":"inline","related_stories":null,"pattern_override":null,"story_callouts":null,"media":null,"featured_blog_post":null,"featured_event":null,"pdf_download":null,"blockquote":null,"author":null,"notice":null,"social_embed":null,"contact_card":null,"meta_details":null,"faq":null,"table":null},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Happy International Women&#039;s Day from GLA!
