risingsunopp.org

Rising Sun Center for Opportunity is a nonprofit that builds career pathways linking economic equity with climate resilience across the California Bay Area and San Joaquin County. It delivers workforce training, paid on-the-job experience, and placement support in green sectors—such as energy efficiency, clean energy, and climate-resilient work—targeting people from underserved and low‑income communities. Rising Sun also partners with employers, community organizations, and local governments to develop community-based projects that cut emissions and increase household and neighborhood resilience. The organization measures success by job placement, living‑wage career paths, and strengthened local capacity to respond to climate and economic challenges.
