Rising Sun Center for Opportunity

About Rising Sun

We’re deeply rooted at the intersection of equity, climate, and good, sustainable careers. In 1994, Rising Sun Center for Opportunity began as Rising Sun Energy Center in Santa Cruz, California. Much has changed as we’ve adapted and innovated to respond to the needs of our participants and communities, but today, we remain rooted in our origins, preparing people throughout the Bay Area and Central California who have been locked out of prosperity for good jobs and green pathways that offer economic equity and mobility while building a climate-resilient future for all. Through programs such as Climate Careers and Opportunity Build, Rising Sun has trained and employed more than 3,000 individuals and helped over 65,000 households reduce their carbon footprint.
