Take Charge! is engaging 1,050+ high-school and college students to become Student Energy Ambassadors in their communities, who will in turn reach out to over 35,000 Colorado residents. Student Energy Ambassadors conduct presentations, service learning activities and community outreach events focused on energy efficiency, renewable energy and green jobs. Take Charge! will be in 20 to 30 Colorado communities from 2011 - 2012.
Recovery Act update from Sr. Advisor Matt Rogers. Can you guess how the Department of Energy project funds match up with the Department of Labor training funds?
Senior Advisor to the Secretary for Recovery Act Implementation Matt Rogers shares his thoughts as the Recovery Act reaches a critical milestone -- the end of the 2010 fiscal year and the last day to obligation contract and grant funding under the Recovery Act.

HOW
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.
