In partnership with the Northwest Colorado’s Council of Governments, the Frisco Workforce Center, the Governor’s Energy Office and the Colorado Department of Labor’s State Energy Sector Partnership, Groundwork Colorado is happy to bring Take Charge! to Summit County.
During the week of May 23, 2011, Groundwork Colorado will be implementing Take Charge: Student Energy Education and Action in Colorado. We have been selected to conduct outreach throughout the entire state of Colorado, working with 36,000 students and residents to implement simple energy conservation measures, and to educate them about renewable energy and green jobs. (See our blog for more information - http://takechargecolorado.blogspot.com/2011/02/what-heck-is-take-charge-canvass-day.html)
