There are many ways in which we are quite different from most other organizations. We have a team of people whose backgrounds vary from solar salesman to real estate agent to campaign organizer to summer camp counselor to city government policy maker. Each of us serves a very unique purpose, and it is incredible watching us work together. Well, it’s incredible to me.
And my favorite part of 1BOG’s extended family has to be the field team. We’ve got people who are out knocking on doors (check out the volunteer page to see them strategize), and getting the word out about our program launching in Oakland and Berkeley.
You think the 1BOG team has diverse backgrounds? This past weekend we had volunteers and organizers meeting to set tactical strategy for their weekend canvass. In one room we had an interior designer, a journalist, a green activist, a business school student, a biochemical engineer, a political campaign organizer, and a college student.
When some people think about “solar” and “green technology”, they have an image in their mind of the type of people that would respond best to that stuff. We’re out to prove that image wrong, door-knock by door-knock!
Hit up the volunteer page if you wanna bring your skills to a very diverse table that is helping get the word out in communities all over the country.
