Power Projects are short-term clean energy work experiences that our Sparks participate in. Projects are designed to provide Sparks with meaningful, hands-on learning and a jump start in their career. Our industry partners in Northern Colorado and Metro Denver provide these work-based opportunities and host a Spark. Sparks are also matched with an Energizer (a Mentor) to provide additional support.

Review our roster of Power Projects below! Our Power Projects report a 98% satisfaction rate and 96% of Sparks accomplished their Projects expectations!
