Description
WHO We Are:
Self-Help started in 1980 with a focus on economic inequality especially in communities that have faced systemic barriers in building wealth. At the core of what Self-Help does is a drive to create and protect ownership and economic opportunity.
Since our founding, we’ve constantly sought new ways to pursue greater economic justice: from providing fair and affordable loans, working with partners to demand that lawmakers change unjust policies, and ensuring an equitable clean energy future.
The Climate Capital team’s charge is to deliver clean energy products, technology, and services to underserved communities as a part of Self-Help’s membership in Climate United. Climate United is a partnership of three national non-profits – Calvert Impact, The Community Preservation Corporation (CPC), and Self-Help—that are complementary in their expertise and like-minded about the imperative to make sure that all Americans, particularly those bearing the greatest burden from the climate crisis, participate in and benefit from the movement to reduce carbon emissions.
We are seeking a Sector Leader, Renewable Energy to join our Climate Capital team in Durham, North Carolina!
Role Overview
The Sector Leader, Renewable Energy will spearhead efforts to expand the adoption of distributed solar energy, focusing on low-income and disadvantaged communities. This role involves creating and managing financing solutions to make solar energy projects financially viable and accessible. The leader will collaborate with community organizations, financial institutions, installers and policymakers to deploy solar installations that lower energy bills, create local jobs, and contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The initiative aims to install solar panels benefiting tens of thousands of households through community and residential solar projects, driving a substantial decrease in greenhouse gas emissions and promoting widespread solar energy adoption.
