In North Dakota communities, we often hear the same hope from families: that students can build meaningful futures without having to look far from home. Prosperity Wind is helping support that future by investing in classroom engagement, STEM learning, and early exposure to energy careers.

On April 8, 2025, our team spent a morning with juniors and seniors at Hope-Page High School near our project area. We talked with students about how wind energy works, the people who keep projects operating, and the growing range of career opportunities in the industry. A Wind Technician Instructor from Lake Region State College had planned to join us and speak about training and career pathways. When he was unable to attend, we stepped in to answer questions and talk through opportunities in the field. Donuts and Geronimo Power swag helped make the visit even more memorable.

Classroom visit

We also wanted the visit to leave something lasting behind. That is why Prosperity Wind paired the classroom conversation with a $3,500 donation to the school’s STEM program, formally presented on June 30, 2025, alongside then-Superintendent Ian Grande. The school was excited to receive the support and even kept the oversized check, a visible reminder that the visit was part of a longer-term commitment.

Together, the donation and classroom visit supported hands-on STEM learning while connecting students with career opportunities close to home. Both reflect a simple goal that continues to guide our work: invest in students today while helping them see what may be possible tomorrow.
