Solar Austin is a local nonprofit organization with a mission to expand solar access to everyone while accelerating community education, strengthening the local economy, and promoting climate change mitigation with clean energy. Since 2002, we have successfully advocated for pro-solar policies and programs, helped to improve diversity equity and inclusion via an internship matching program, donated solar and battery installations for local nonprofits, and hosted many educational community events. Now, we are looking for a program coordinator to support our mission by implementing our donated installations and community education program.
