Indiana Connection and Indiana’s electric cooperatives are proud to sponsor the Youth Power and Hope Awards program.

Since 2009, the program has annually honored Indiana youth in grades 5–8 for their community service. Past winners’ 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.

Up to five qualified candidates will receive $500 and be featured in an upcoming issue of Indiana Connection, among other recognition.

The deadline to apply is Monday, Oct. 2.
