About WRISE

Mission

Women of Renewable Industries and Sustainable Energy (WRISE) is a national nonprofit working across the renewable energy economy with a broad purpose – to change our energy future through the collective power of community. Our mission is to accelerate the transition to a sustainable and equitable energy future by igniting the collective power of community.

Through building Community, promoting Education, and cultivating Leadership, WRISE works to recruit, retain, advance and inspire systemically excluded communities in pursuing a sustainable and equitable future. WRISE was first established as Women of Wind Energy (WoWE) in 2005, and rebranded in May 2017.
