My Nonprofit Reviews

I really appreciate the American Solar Energy Society (ASES) not just for advocating for solar energy solutions, but for having environmental justice as a core value. This is obvious to me from the efforts they make to engage a diverse membership; the topics they address in their magazine and at conferences and online meetings; the make-up of their board and staff; and the intentionality they have to make sure solar energy isn't just being deployed, but that it is being deployed in a way that genuinely helps people, and not just the few people who already profit off of the current fossil fuel-based energy system. ASES is a wonderful community that is supportive and helpful to a young professional like myself, and I have benefitted greatly from their "Mentor Match" program. I attended my first in-person conference this past year and was welcomed with open arms; I look forward to being a part of this excellent group for a long time to come.
