Iowa Youth Leadership Academy

Guided by our cooperative commitment to community, Iowa's electric cooperatives are pleased to offer a virtual opportunity for rural students to learn more about advocacy, electric co-op career opportunities and the cooperative business model with a three-part webinar series in October.

Once students register online for the Iowa Youth Leadership Academy, they can attend the webinars from their own computer or mobile device. Each Zoom session will last around 45-60 minutes and focus on a specific topic:

At the end of each live session, one lucky attendee will be selected at random to win a pair of Apple AirPods. Students who attend all three sessions will be entered into a random drawing for a $1,000 college scholarship. All students who register online will receive a special box of co-op goodies in the mail.
