Youth Power and Hope Award Applications Open

Hendricks Power and Indiana’s Electric Cooperatives are accepting applications for awards that recognize the community spirit of Indiana’s youth. 

The Youth Power and Hope Awards program honors Indiana students in fifth through eighth grades who are leaders in their communities. Applicants are required to be cooperative members. Up to five qualified candidates will be selected to receive $500. Local winners will be featured in the News and Views newsletter, among other highlights.

“At Hendricks Power, giving back to our community is one of the top priorities we strive to accomplish,” said Heather Thompson, Director of Marketing and Human Resources. “We want to recognize young leaders who are making a positive impact through celebrating and encouraging our future community leaders.”

Past award recipients include students who have initiated a coat drive for the underprivileged, supported patients at Riley Children's Hospital, worked with special needs children, volunteered at a local animal shelter, raised money for the American Cancer Society, and more.
