This 46-hour, fully subsidized, project-based experience connects Denver-based employers with learners from the Colorado Community College System.

Each project runs for four weeks, starting end of April and ending by July, 2025. You'll be matched with up to five learners, each contributing 46 hours—totalling up to 230 hours of support.

Learners receive a $900 USD payment upon successful completion, fully funded by Riipen. There is no cost to employers.

Submit your project for review by the Impact Projects team. If approved, we’ll match you with a qualified learner team ready to contribute to your business.

Learners are prepared to support initiatives in areas such as:

• Disaster Risk Reduction
• Water Resource Management
• Agricultural Resilience
• Ecosystem Protection
• Renewable Energy & Clean Technology
• Climate-Resilient Health Systems
• Climate Policy & Finance
• Extreme Weather & Climate Events

Project deliverables will vary based on scope, but by the end of the experience, you’ll have tangible assets to support your business goals.

Due to Impact Project’s short, remote format, projects must be well-defined and project-based. We cannot accept job postings—please outline a clear, specific scope for the learner’s work.
