Training encore adults to mentor high school students in donated Solar Learning Labs
Good Sun's Building Bridges With Sunlight initiative provides high schools with free Solar Learning Labs: panels, equipment, projects and curriculum, plus trained encore adult instructors. Both generations participate in our solar installation projects for low-income families. We believe shared work toward a common vision builds a bridge sturdy enough for all. Community service, mentors and hands-on work provide real paths to the future for students who may lack confidence or a sense of purpose.
