Rising Sun Energy Center is a grassroots organization - which means YOU are an essential part of what we do. Explore these ways to be involved with Rising Sun!


The movement for environmental and social justice is at a tipping-point. Rising Sun is thrilled to work with anyone from the community who wants to throw themself into the movement with determination and optimism!

When you volunteer for Rising Sun Energy Center, you'll be connecting with young people, educating the public about sustainable behaviors, and immersing yourself in an expanding organization and a booming industry. Our volunteers work alongside the Rising Sun team, and often then join us as interns, and occasionally as staff.

Rising Sun Energy Center, and especially the California Youth Energy Services program, works on a grassroots level all through the East and North Bay. If you are a member or leader of a:

• community group
• parent-teacher-association
• neighborhood association
• church or other faith group
• non-profit
• direct service organization
• youth group
• etc

... then we are thrilled you found us!

We know how easy it is to proceed with business as usual...but as we put off our responsibility to our planet and one another, we waste money and drain our natural resources. If you think your church, association, or organization "doesn't have anything to do" with green issues, remember that we all share this planet, both with each other and with future generations. Rising Sun wants to:

• Visit your group, meeting, or service
• Offer California Youth Energy Services free 'green house calls' to your members
• Present to or run workshops for your group - about our youth training, energy efficiency, workforce development, or neighborhood sustainability
• Throw an event with you to green the community
• Offer green jobs to the young people in your area

We cannot wait to meet you. Click here now to get in touch!

Rising Sun Energy Center believes in the triple bottom line: economy, equality and ecology. Strong corporate social responsibility policies and the burgeoning business opportunities in the green economy have aligned ecological and social ideals with business ideals. If you're a Bay Area business, Rising Sun wants to meet you!
