Please check out Jan Scott who taught several weeks with the Remote Energy team in the Red Cloud Renewable BRIDGE class! Jan's superpower is her level head, energetic spirit, and humor that she brings while leading an install with students. It was such a pleasure working with her and learning from her! Thanks Jan!

Week 4 is here of our Women in Solar Instructor Spotlight Series: A celebration of the strong, powerful women leading the charge in the solar industry. And this time, we’re highlighting one of our fearless Remote Energy Co-Founders, who empowers women with solar skills and education on a daily basis! Instuctors to highlight: Laura Walters Role: Co-Founder and PV Instructor is a Co-founder of Remote Energy and has over eighteen years of instructional design experience with a specific focus of how to design and install solar electric systems. She has applied this expertise internationally developing curriculum packages, textbooks, and training programs for a wide variety of audiences. In addition to curriculum work, she is a PV instructor. Her passion lies in distilling complex information into a digestible and engaging format and creating graphics to convey ideas. This August, she co-taught three weeks for the Red Cloud Renewable B.R.I.D.G.E program. She was honored to be part of the program and loved spending time with the incredible instructors and students. She said "I am so proud of the women who dedicated so much time, energy, and heart into this opportunity - their futures are bright, and I can't wait to continue following them on their solar journey!" #RemoteEnergy #women #solar #spotlight #series #renewableenergy #journey #womeninsolar

Join us live for the graduation ceremony of our BRIDGE program, celebrating the achievements of our newly certified Native American women solar installers! Over the past five weeks, these dedicated women have immersed themselves in the renewable energy field, mastering the skills needed to excel in their new careers. Now, they are poised to bridge the gender gap in this vital industry. Send your best wishes as they embark on this exciting new chapter!

Empowering Native American women in the solar industry is more than just a program—it's a powerful step towards community resilience and sustainable energy solutions rooted in cultural values. When women from our communities join the solar movement, they help bridge gender and cultural gaps, paving the way for a brighter, more inclusive future for all. #RenewableEnergy #WomenInSolar #RedCloudRenewable #Empowerment #Sustainability

10 years ago today! Our Founder & CEO Chief Henry Red Cloud was building a compressed earth block building that we use today as our office here at Red Cloud Renewable Energy Center on Pine Ridge Reservation. It's amazing to find old photos and see his dreams coming into fruition, everyday is one step closer to a self sustaining reservation.

A new study is confirming what we all knew was true. “The best way to restore ecosystems is to listen to Indigenous Peoples However, outdated science and views leads many researchers to ignore traditional knowledge.” Read more here ?? https://lnkd.in/gzbzw5Gf

Red Cloud's legacy continues to inspire people today. He was a leader who stood up for his people and fought for their rights in the face of great adversity. We hope that by learning about his story, we can all be inspired to stand up for what is right and just in our own lives and communities.

Happy 47th annual National Weatherization Day!
