Before I started working at GRID Alternatives Mid-Atlantic in 2018, I came to the organization as a client looking to install solar on my home. I attended a GRID open house in my area and appreciated how they invited guests to come in to meet employees and learn about the organization’s work. Ultimately, that experience led me towards a career opportunity at GRID and I\u2019m happy to work with those I met that day.<\/p>\n
Working at GRID Mid-Atlantic has changed my overall perspective. It was an intro to living a more sustainable life both personally and professionally. This experience has kindled a passion for advocating for environmental justice and opening new doors through workforce development. While most jobs are given to those that already have the experience, we invest in bringing newcomers \u2014 usually local residents \u2014 a plethora of resources, including job training, that prepares them to enter the solar industry. <\/p>\n
