Overview

Mission

Veterans green jobs mission is to engage, transition and connect military veterans with meaningful employment opportunities that serve our communities and environment.

What it reported doing in 2014

Energy efficiency and weatherization services for low-income communities: vgj is one of nine agencies in the state of Colorado that are providing low-income weatherization services for urban and rural communities, specifically the denver/jefferson county metropolitan area and the san luis valley. Through contracts with the Colorado energy office (ceo), vgj is weatherizing over 1,000 homes for qualified low-income residents, including furnace maintenance and upgrades. Vgj crews are a blend of veterans and non-veterans performing these tasks. This program has expanded beyond ceo funding to other sources of government and foundation funding to support green and healthy homes initiatives, and low-residential solar installation. Additionally, vgj has leveraged its equipment and employee base to offer fee-for-service hvac in the general housing market.
