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.
