Rising Sun Center for Opportunity

Job Opening:
Stockton Energy Specialist

About Us
Rising Sun Center for Opportunity is a premier workforce development and community resilience
non-profit serving the Bay Area and San Joaquin County. We offer two programs, Climate Careers and
Opportunity Build, that give youth and adults the training and experience they need to access sustainable
career pathways and maximize their potential.


The Climate Careers Program
Our Climate Careers program offers a
no-cost service, the Green House Call, to South Stockton
households. Green House Calls consist of an energy and water audit and installations of energy and
water-saving devices such as LED Lightbulbs, showerheads, bathroom/kitchen faucet aerators, smart
powerstrips, and more. Climate Careers employs youth Energy Specialists, ages 15-24 from low-income
households, to perform these audits and installations.

Upon the successful completion of the Green House Call program, they will continue paid employment
with Rising Sun through a Fall externship placement program in which they will be placed with a trusted
partner organization to gain additional career exposure and build their professional network and resume.
