An internship program that seeks out diverse applicants and places them in paid positions at clean-energy companies will be able to continue through 2021 because of a $50,000 grant from A Community Thrives.
Solar Austin, which works toward bringing affordable renewable energy to more Austinites and promoting careers in clean energy, won the grant through A Community Thrives for its internship program. The first iteration of the program began over the summer and was developed by Solar Austin and Huston-Tillotson University.
A Community Thrives is a program that invests in organizations and charities that support education, arts and culture, wellness and other community initiatives. The Gannett Foundation and the USA Today Network, the parent company of the American-Statesman and seven other daily newspapers in Texas, are sponsors of A Community Thrives.
