On Thursday, April 12, SFCC Corpsmembers and staff attended our second annual Green Careers Conference at the David Brower Center in Berkeley hosted by Strategic Energy Innovations and Energize Schools. At this informative and inspiring event, we learned about environmental and energy jobs and training opportunities- including workshops from the Center for Ecoliteracy, PG&E, Rising Sun Energy Center, GRID Alternatives, the Natural Resources Defense Council, and many others. The keynote, Kelsey Skaggs, spoke about "climate law", and how she's representing people at the front lines through the nonprofit she started- Climate Defense Project.
SFCC tabled and networked with other schools and organizations throughout the Bay Area, and one of our Corpsmembers, TyJay, even presented on SFCC's Recycling Operations Center!
