Welcome to the North Bay Institute of Green Technology (NBIGT) - Youth Green Jobs Sonoma
The North Bay Institute of Green Technology (NBIGT), is a nonprofit organization.
Our mission is to provide training, job placement, and retention of low-income, unemployed, or underemployed persons for a career in green collar jobs, to include technologies having to do with sustainability in the environment, energy conservation, and green (non-carbon based) energy production.
Youth Green Jobs (YGJS) - Academia Quinto-Sol (AQS)- Fifth Sun Academy for Young Visionaries - is the flagship program of NBIGT which was successfully launched and completed in the summer of 2009 that promoted energy education and awareness, resource conservation, and employment readiness for under-served, in-crisis and at-risk youth for the green collar jobs sector.

NBIGT-YGJS utilizes a "applied skills learning" based approach to learning, helping students to attain the skills necessary to successfully accomplish their goals. We understand what is required, the challenges and what is needed for the student to succeed in the new green economy.
The North Bay Institute of Green Technology partners with leading organizations and agencies to provide cutting edge education and training services as we move toward sustainability. Our partners are important to us, and we value them greatly for the vision, expertise, and funding they bring to our endeavor - allowing us to more effectively serve our students.
