How can I search for mutual funds to invest in?

I have a brokerage account with Schwab. I'm looking into investing into a mutual fund. My interests for places to invest is renewable energy, data/tech companies, impact companies. Are there sites to find a list of mutual funds with my interest? How can I find an actual mutual fund to invest in?

    Look for funds (more often exchange-traded funds than mutual funds) that have the letters ESG in the name.  This stands for "environmental, social, governance" which is basically a fancy way of saying that they pick companies that liberals like and avoid companies that invest in fossil fuels.  They also tend to be tech-heavy, mainly because companies that don't actually manufacture anything don't get flagged for pollution or for mistreating manufacturing employees.
