Guided Projects
Guided Projects focuses on deployment of proven, easily replicable clean energy projects led by youth. The 10-month program includes 2 months of intensive coursework followed by 4 to 8 months of project execution. Teams will receive coaching throughout the program, and mentorship and funding during the project execution phase.

Get Involved in SE Guided Projects
Calling all solar contractors and suppliers based in Canada!
Do you want to support youth in developing their clean energy projects as
contractors and/or project partners? Are you seeking connections and working relationships with youth who are passionate about clean energy project development? We would love to hear from you.
Your response will be stored in our database for youth in Guided Projects. During the procurement stage of their projects, youth teams will reach out to invite you to submit a proposal if you operate within the same city/province as the project sites.
Want to participate in the
next cohort of Guided Projects?
