WARSAW — Applications for the Youth Power and Hope Awards are now open.
Indiana Electric Cooperatives including Kosciusko REMC and Indiana Connection Magazine are sponsoring this annual award program. This program honors students in fifth through eighth grades for their community service. Up to five qualified candidates will receive $500, be honored at the Indiana Electric Cooperatives’ Annual Meeting in December and be featured in an upcoming issue of Indiana Connection magazine.
Since 2009, the program has annually honored Indiana youth for their community service. In the past, winning community projects have included raising money for Riley Hospital for Children and donating toys for its patients, collecting coats for the less fortunate, and providing police officers with stuffed animals to comfort children in crisis situations.
“We are excited to have an opportunity to celebrate the community-minded young people in Kosciusko County and throughout Indiana. Investing in our next generation is a huge part of how we show care for our members and local community,” said Tara Haack, Vice President of Marketing & Communications at KREMC.
Applicants’ parents or guardians must be a member of an Indiana electric cooperative like KREMC to apply. Applications are due on Friday, Oct. 3. Find more information and to apply, visit kremc.com/youth-programs.
