development programs
Rising Sun is a premier nonprofit organization working at the intersection of economic
equity and climate resilience in the greater California Bay Area since 1994. With offices in
Oakland and Stockton, our workforce development programs are grounded in resiliency
and specialize in serving youth, women, and individuals in reentry. Opportunity Build
provides a pathway out of poverty for job-seeking adults experiencing barriers to
employment through pre-apprenticeship training, case management, and career
placement in the building trades and construction. Climate Careers gives local youth from
low-income households their first green job, training them to provide free residential energy
efficiency services to priority households throughout the nine Bay Area counties and San
Joaquin County.
We are mission-driven and work hard because we care deeply about what we do. We are
deeply committed to equity and inclusion and want to do the self-work necessary to be
successful in these areas. We like working with each other and we like to make work fun.
We like to try new things and encourage each other to find unique and unconventional
ways to tackle tough problems. We celebrate every birthday, eat a lot of dessert together,
and recycle the same birthday candles until they’re gone. There’s usually at least one dog
hanging around the office, and sometimes a staff member’s kid or two as well. We want
people to grow. We like to promote from within and build each other up, but we also like to
bring in new ideas and different perspectives. We’re looking forward to meeting you and
hearing about how you can contribute to making Rising Sun a great place to work.
This is a permanent, full-time, exempt, salaried, benefited position. Salary is commensurate
with experience and competitive with other nonprofit organizations. Rising Sun offers a
leave, access to a 403b retirement plan, and work-from-home options. Rising Sun covers
the premiums for dependents.
