Rising Sun Center for Opportunity
Job Opening: Site Program Manager (SiPM)

About Us
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.

The Climate Careers Program
Our Climate Careers program offers a no-cost service, the Green House Call, to local households. Green
House Calls consist of an energy and water audit and installations of energy and water-saving devices.
Climate Careers employs youth Energy Specialists, ages 15-24 from low-income households, to perform
these audits and installations. Our innovative mission combines residential energy efficiency services with
youth employment, development, and pathways to success.

Job Summary
The Site Program Manager (SiPM) is responsible for implementing the Climate Careers program in a
specific county, throughout the Central Valley Region–Merced County (Los Banos) or Madera County
(Madera)- while also supporting the overall goals of the program. The SiPM will oversee and supervise 9
youth during the summer. The SiPM will co-manage one site office with a Summer Program Manager
during the summer employment.

The Site Program Manager will report directly to the Regional Manager and work closely with the
Outreach Manager, Youth Development Specialist, and Summer Program Manager. SiPM is expected to
