Cuivre River Electric Cooperative will sponsor six high school sophomores who demonstrate leadership and a desire to make a positive impact in their communities for this summer’s Cooperative Youth Conference and Leadership Experience (CYCLE) program.
The conference, scheduled for July 15-18 in Jefferson City, will feature a variety of speakers and activities, bringing together some of the brightest young leaders from across the state.
CYCLE is open to high school sophomores who live and attend school in CREC’s general service area, or who have the co-op’s service in their homes. Local teachers are invited to nominate sophomore students to serve as CYCLE delegates, or students may apply independently.
As part of the application process, sophomore students are asked to submit a narrative about their school activities and community service. Applications are available here, at CREC offices in Troy and Lake Saint Louis, and at local high schools. The application deadline is April 16. A panel of judges will select six CYCLE delegates, and the names will be announced on May 7.
