Our Team

At the start of the project, Solar One approached Manhattan Comprehensive Night & Day High School (MCHS) to conduct the pilot project. MCHS is a rare, one-of-a-kind public high school teaching eight hundred older, nontraditional students, ages seventeen to twenty-one. These students often come from immigrant communities or have re-entered school after a period away and also often work part- or full-time. In addition, a partner organization called Comprehensive Development, Inc. (CDI) works in tandem with the school to provide support services for students, including offering an hourly wage for student interns involved in the project.
