GETCHARGEDUP is a diverse and ambitious group of entrepreneurs, activists, creatives and socially concerned citizens. We came together to focus our collective energy on empowering those who are most in need. We are future-focused and think outside the box. We are doers, not dreamers. We are not here to profit; we believe that when we break down the barriers to renewable energy access to communities that could use it, the world profits from the investment.

We believe that even the smallest action is greater than the biggest dream.

Join the team and help us EMPOWER. 

Eb Harvey

Chief Story Teller

My success is the end product of a progressive and positive attitude. I am the chief storyteller (or Video and Visual Production Manager) for GETCHARGEDUP. I began being inspired with our initiatives since October 2016. There is a motto that I live by–it is also a goal I have for anyone who views my visuals: “Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change”

Adam Jalahej

Workforce Empowerment

Adam leads GETCHARGEDUP’s workforce development and oversees the solar installation trainees’ support and development.

Adam fled Syria in 2013 to neighboring Jordan where he spent 3 years as a refugee before arriving in the United States. While in Jordan, Adam had to work various jobs such as a cashier at a restaurant, front desk attendant etc.. For him, the biggest challenge was the need to stay in school while working and supporting his family. The war in Syria prevented Adam from completing his high school diploma in 2012. He was able to receive it only in 2015 while in Jordan. He was among the lucky few able to attend school in the war-torn country. Upon arriving at the US in 2016, Adam quickly adapted to the new life and joined Urban Corps to improve his English skills while going thru job training and performing community service. Adam was quickly promoted to a crew leader role after 6 months of working with Urban Corps.

In Sept 2017, Adam was the first trainee to go through the Installation Basics Training at GRID Alternatives facilitated by GETCHARGEDUP’s #EmpowerRefugees’ initiative.

Rebecca Maloney

Grants & Fundraising Manager

I was born and raised in Tacoma, Washington. I knew since the age of 15 I wanted a life in Environmental Science; it’s my passion! I moved to Tijuana at the age of 18 and fell in love with the area! Began working at Greenpeace and volunteering at local orphanages during my time living in Tijuana. I worked there for a little under a year before I moved to San Diego to study Environmental Science at SD Mesa College. My focus is Environmental Policy and I have been with GETCHARGEDUP since the launch party, February 1st, 2017.

Moh Alhasan

EmpowerRefugees Program Manager

Mohammad (or Moh) has a passion for sustainability and people and leads GETCHARGEDUP’s #EmpowerRefugees initiative. Moh is a Palestinian refugee who grew up in Aleppo, Syria and moved later to Jordan. He received his B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Jordan University of Science and Technology in 2010 and moved again to San Diego to pursue higher education. Moh earned his MBA from Southern States University in 2014 and is now working as a Software test engineer at Qualcomm. In July 2016, considering the resettlement of 300 refugee families in San Diego, Mohammad joined forces with other activists to form the Arab Youth Collective (AYC), a community-based collective with a mission to empower and educate refugee youth. With the partnership of Corazon de Vida, Moh started AYC’s coding program to introduce 11 to 14-year-old children to coding through computer-based games 

When he is not on the dance floor, Moh has a passion for travel and experiencing different cultures. His latest memorable adventure was in South America last year where he explored several countries below the equator for the first time.

Perla Anya

Accounting & Secretary

Hola, my name is Perla Anaya and I am the board secretary of GETCHARGEDUP. From the very first time I heard about this nonprofit, I knew I wanted to be part of it.  It helped me realize that instead of feeling idle against the circumstances, you can act and empower people for a better future. When I am not doing what seems endless amount of school work, I like to watch the Food Channel with my dog, and go to the movie theater with my family. This usually involves an unhealthy amount of popcorn and extra cheesy nachos (hence why I love it).
