Under the Senior Programs Specialist’s direction, the Decarbonization Programs Intern will provide support for two of SVCE’s decarbonization programs: Home Rebates and E-Bike Rebates.

Rebate programs require program design, setup, marketing, implementation, and routine monitoring and evaluation. The Home Rebates program was launched in 2022 and is SVCE’s longest running program.
