It has been a very busy spring here at Veterans Green Jobs - from gearing up for summer job training, to planning climbing and river trips, to celebrating Colorado Governor Ritter's last bill signing, our staff has been working diligently to continue bringing green jobs programs and unique opportunities to veterans.

 

We have also experienced some change here within Veterans Green Jobs. Our co-founder, Brett KenCairn, is returning to the private sector, having successfully led Veterans Green Jobs through our initial start-up phase. Brett's vision and passion for military veterans, the environment and the economy have been truly remarkable, and his creative leadership and dedication to our mission will be hard to match. From securing $11.8 million in contracts with the Governor's Energy Office to weatherize low-income homes, to winning $1.25 in grants from the Walmart Foundation to keep our mission going, and jump-starting several unique initiatives to serve vets and Colorado communities, Brett leaves behind a legacy of commitment and a deep connection to the work. He also leaves Veterans Green Jobs in good hands with a highly dedicated and talented staff and board who will continue to bring Brett's vision to bear. Please join me in saluting Brett as he moves on to his next adventure!

 

Please check out the opportunities below and get in touch as soon as possible if you'd like to sign up for our summer programs. And by all means, pass this information along to your friends and colleagues!

 

We look forward to many interesting adventures with you. In the meantime, feel free to get in touch at any time.
