This year, we\u2019re hosting four college teams here at GRID North Valley through our Solar Spring Break program. During the first week, eight students from Michigan State University\u2019s Alternative Spartan Breaks (ASB) club spent a week with our team in Sacramento. ASB sends students on educational trips within the US and internationally to focus on sustainability, community development, and raising awareness for various social issues. <\/p>\n<p>During their visit they participated in a tour of Arch Nexus\u2019 sustainable building, which is the first certified living building in California! On International Women\u2019s Day, the group installed a 15-panel system on the home of the Trinidad family in Sacramento. The students were very eager to learn and start the process of the solar installation. They showed up, showed out, and commanded the work on the roof. It was volunteer Blair\u2019s first ASB trip: \u201cIt has been a really great experience. We\u2019re learning a lot about how solar panels work and how to install them\u201d. For students considering the program, Blair recommends, \u201cGet out of your comfort zone and be comfortable being uncomfortable. It\u2019s a great experience volunteering with GRID. You get to meet a lot of great people with similar passions as you\u201d. Following Michigan State\u2019s volunteer week, we\u2019ve hosted University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, University of Nevada Reno, and University of California Santa Cruz.
