Idaho Falls, ID – Idaho Falls Power (IFP) is currently accepting applications for the annual Idaho Consumer-Owned Utilities Association’s (ICUA) Youth Rally.

The 2018 Youth Rally is July 8-13. Applications are due May 1.

Each year, IFP sponsors several local high school students at the annual ICUA Youth Rally in Caldwell. For one week, youth – representing utilities in Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Nevada, Oregon, Washington and Alaska – converge at the College of Idaho Campus to participate in a variety of activities and classes to promote positive relationships and build skills in leadership, teamwork, perseverance, and more. Youth also learn about government, drug and alcohol awareness, and the electrical/energy industry.

Youth who attend the event are also eligible to receive college scholarship awards. Last year, Idaho Falls youth received $2,700 in scholarships.

IFP covers all expenses for youth who attend the event. The scholarship program is open to Idaho Falls high school sophomores and juniors.

Applications are available at Idaho Falls Power, 140 S. Capital Ave., or on our website, www.ifpower.org.

For more information, contact IFP at 208-612-8430.
