Energy Summer Interns

Strategic Energy Innovations (SEI) a non-profit company in San Rafael, CA is looking to
place interns with energy efficiency, weatherization or retrofitting contractors for 6
weeks this summer. Interns are available to be placed in Marin, Sonoma, San Francisco,
and Contra Costa Counties, as well as parts of Alameda County. The program, funded by
the Workforce Investment Act and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, aims to
train older youth (ages 18-24) in energy efficiency skills, so that they are better
prepared for future employment.
From July 1st - August 14th interested contractors will have interns on staff 4
days/week, averaging a 32-hour week. These interns are available to work on a variety of
tasks related to energy efficiency such as: replacing light fixtures, low flow aerator
faucets, taping vents, hauling gear, and providing general help to crews. We understand
that some days may go longer than 8 hours, and the contractor will have the flexibility
to work out specific hours with their intern. SEI's insurance extends coverage to our
interns.

A supervisor from Strategic Energy Innovations will be checking in with the interns
throughout the week, and is available anytime during the internship for contractors to
talk with about the interns' performance or responsibilities. Youth will be paid $2000
stipends for the 8-week internship. We have funding for half of the intern stipend, and
are currently seeking sponsorships for the remaining amount. We are asking contractors to
contribute $600 ($100/week) towards the interns' stipends.

We feel this is an excellent opportunity for contractors to develop talent in their
field, receive generous staffing support during the busier summer months, and mentor
these young people. This is a tremendous opportunity for the interns, and we hope it will
provide a channel for hiring the youth that excel.

Please call me at 415-507-2183 or email me at sandy@seiinc.org if you are interested or
have questions, and I will follow-up with further details.
