Bring Take Charge to Your Community!

Take Charge! will be in 20 to 30 Colorado communities from 2011-2012. With a goal of reaching out to over 35,000 Colorado residents, Take Charge! will engage over 1,050 high school and college youth to become Student Energy Ambassadors in their communities. The Take Charge! team will be conducting presentations, trainings, service learning activities and community outreach events focused on energy efficiency, renewable energy and green jobs.  Visit our blog - http://takechargecolorado.blogspot.com/, or contact us at TakeCharge@GroundworkColorado.org to learn more, or to Take Charge in your own community!

We are looking for schools, local government, energy service providers and other community members to get involved with this project sponsored by the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment.

Groundwork Colorado's funding for the "Colorado Student Energy Awareness and Outreach Project" is provided with American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 grant funds awarded by the U. S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration. Currently, the majority of the total cost of this project is financed with Federal money, and there are $330,000 in Federal funds for this project. This initiative is sponsored by the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment, the Colorado Workforce Development Council, and the Colorado State Energy Partnership Coalition.
