FUTURE GENERATIONS

COMMITTED TO FUTURE GENERATIONS

YOUTH PROGRAMS

We recognize that the youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow. The students we reach today have the potential to be cooperative board members, employees and members in the future. That is why we invest so much time and energy in programs that benefit our youth. Through educational programs, financial opportunities, and educator training, we have the ability to empower future generations.

EMPOWER WORKSHOP

Your cooperative sponsored 15 educators to attend PowerSouth Energy Cooperative’s EMPOWER Energy Education Workshop. This workshop provides training and resources to assist educators with STEM curriculum and experiments in the classroom.

YOUTH TOUR

The Rural Electric Cooperative Youth Tour program offers high school juniors the opportunity to learn more about the cooperative form of business, develop a greater understanding of the political process, and tour sites in our state capital, as well as our nation’s capital. In 2019, your cooperative sponsored eight students from our area to participate in the Montgomery Youth Tour. Four of these students continued on to participate in the Washington Youth Tour, a week-long event held in Washington, D.C. Participants had the opportunity to tour sites such as the Capitol, Mount Vernon, the Lincoln Memorial, the Vietnam War Memorial, and the WWII Memorial. They also had the opportunity to visit and interact with congressional leaders.
