Youth Programs
One of our principles is Commitment to Community. We believe the future of our community is our youth, so we think our time and money are well-spent supporting youth programs and organizations in our community. We support opportunities for students to learn more about energy, the cooperative business model, history, government, leadership, and much more.
South Central Indiana REMC understands the value of educating our youths. That’s why the co-op offers multiple learning opportunities for students of all ages:
