Participant Testimonials

DPS Renewable Energy Academy Participant

“This program opened a whole world of opportunities for careers I have never thought of. I can count on my path after high school to be great.”

GRID SolarCorps Fellow

“GRID has filled me with hope, restored self-confidence, and given me much peace with my current and future financial responsibilities.”

Energy and Water Corpsmember

“This time last year, I was on a seemingly endless search for a job… Flash forward to October…. we have serviced 400+ homes, conserved over 100 million gallons of water, and over 3 million kilowatt hours of energy with installed products, saving families an average of $158 per year.”

WORNOW, Community College of Denver Green Pathways Trainee

"It’s exciting to be a part of such a rapidly evolving industry that we all often take for granted. Each year I look back and I’m astounded at what I’ve learned and accomplished, and it all happened one deliberate step and skill at a time."
