Students can develop leadership skills, learn about co-ops
The annual Youth Leadership Congress is a dynamic three-day event sponsored by Wisconsin’s electric cooperatives and the Wisconsin Electric Cooperative Association. It is a unique opportunity for youth to develop their leadership skills while learning the purpose, operation, and scope of cooperative businesses.

This year's event will take place July 14-16 at UW-River Falls.
Rock Energy will pay for four high school students to attend the sessions. Applicants must be current freshmen, sophomores, or juniors who reside in the co-op's service territory and are children of co-op members. Click on the link below to submit your online application.
