Appli­ca­tions now open for YEC’s Bright Ideas Grant for local teach­ers

Teacher Scott Boyd smiles for the camera
From projects that help stu­dents apply learn­ing and skills in sci­ence, tech­nol­o­gy, engi­neer­ing, art and math, to the next gen­er­a­tion of first respon­ders learn­ing fire sci­ence from Scott Boyd (pic­tured) at Clover High School, our teach­ers con­tin­ue to prove their out­stand­ing skills and show us their inno­va­tion year after year. York Elec­tric Coop­er­a­tive can­not express how grate­ful we are to sup­port the work you do, inspir­ing young minds, each day.

For the fifth year, York Elec­tric Coop­er­a­tive and Oper­a­tion Round Up Trust will fund grants for local teach­ers. Appli­cants can win up to $1,000 to help pay for inno­v­a­tive learn­ing meth­ods and mate­ri­als to sup­port stu­dents in their class­rooms. Par­tial fund­ing will also be avail­able for grants so that we can make a larg­er impact on the young minds and hearts that will be shap­ing the future of our com­mu­ni­ty.

Addi­tion­al­ly, we’d like to invite you— our members—to get involved! For the first time, we will also be fill­ing the Ama­zon wish­lists for local teach­ers. Nom­i­nate some­one who has been impact­ful to you, your stu­dent or your fam­i­ly and tell us why they deserve some extra love to fill their needs and class­room sup­plies. Per­haps they teach at a low-income school, were asked to switch grade lev­els or are just start­ing out as a new teacher. Either way, your co-op needs your help to locate those who are remark­able and who need our help.

Both appli­ca­tions for our Bright Ideas Grant and our Wish­list Nom­i­na­tions are due by Wednes­day, Sept. 13. Learn more and apply online.
