Intentional Living Institute

It's no surprise that the Solar Living Institute has embarked on a program to train at-risk young adults in green technologies. For over 10 years, the Institute has been providing hands-on training in solar photovoltaic (PV), solar thermal, alternative fuels, energy efficiency, electric vehicles, and green building.

Located in Hopland, California, the Solar Living Institute is a non-profit organization whose primary mission is to promote sustainable living through environmental education. In fact, they're one of the few organizations in the U.S. already providing solar technical training to a broad and diverse population.

So it's only natural they would offer green job training to at-risk young adults in California. Not only does such a program increase the skill base of the participants, but it also adds to the job pool of Californians with the training necessary to meet head-on the state's environmental challenges, both now and into the future.
