POSITION DESCRIPTION

Title:                                      Front Office Lead

Last year’s Solarize Portland effort resulted in 125 homeowners working together to build a 350kW clean energy powerplant (equal to taking 650 cars off the road!) right here on the roofs of SE Portland homes.

Southeast Uplift and Imagine Energy are now partnering to offer Solarize SE, Phase II. Solarize is a community education and solar installation program designed to help southeast Portland homeowners overcome the barriers to going solar at home, including who to hire, how much to budget and where to start. With Solarize Southeast, interested neighbors will join forces to conquer the process as a team, and realize significant cost savings with bulk purchasing power.

Neighborhood House is recruiting participants for our employment program assisting Multnomah County residents who have lost their job in the last year or had their hours reduced.

The Action for Prosperity employment program is open to individuals and households who are at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level (for example, below $36,620 for a family of 3). The program works with individuals and households, who have recent work history, though may need some job search assistance and employment training in order to secure a job or to obtain a higher-wage job. Training will be provided by Worksystem’s Inc., and other educational and employment centers.
