Project Helping

Volunteering is good for your mental wellness. Project Helping's mission is to make it ridiculously easy to volunteer so this mental wellness resource is as accessible as possible. They do this in two primary ways:

1. Hosting in-person volunteer events all across the country, and
2. Offering Kynd Kits, volunteer projects in a box that can be used for all group sizes and delivered anywhere!

Partnership Details
We know WEN members are always willing to give back to the communities we live and work in, but that it isn't always easy to find the opportunities or time. By partnering with Project Helping, our goal is to provide the "easy button" for members and Chapters to organize group projects, whether it's in-person or at your desk!

SEI Women in Solar Power Program

Solar Energy International’s (SEI) Women in Solar Power program is a highly innovative approach to training women for jobs in the solar industry, addressing both the industry’s urgent need for workforce expansion and supporting career development for a diverse population of women. An unspoken deterrent to pursuing a career in the solar industry has been the predominance of men. Yet the solar industry offers a multitude of lucrative job prospects with a clear career path forward, and women across the world have invaluable expertise, skills and perspectives to contribute to the clean energy revolution. This program is unequivocally for them. There is no question that positive change will result from more women being an integral part of solar industry initiatives in the US and across the world. SEI is dedicated to help meet the ballooning workforce needs of the solar industry, and making sure women are not just included, but a driving force in the change to renewable energy.

Partnership Details
WEN members receive complimentary access to the SEI Women in Solar Power Online Learning Community, which provides unique resources for women looking to embark on or enrich their careers in solar energy. SEI provides a combination of free tools and online courses that support women looking to transition into the solar industry and/or continue their education. Visit their website and get registered today!

As an added bonus, active WEN Members receive a $50 discount for all of SEI's PV (english) and FV(spanish) training during 2024! Use code WEN2024 at checkout to receive this benefit.
