Learn with YEC

Five utility workers pose with three children holding drawings in front of an electric service truck. No recognizable landmarks or historical buildings are present.

Thinking creatively is an important part of learning communication skills, expression, and strategizing for the best outcome. At YEC, we’re proud to support education and the bright futures of our youngest members with a variety of contests, games, puzzles, and other brain-building tasks. There's always room for the grown-ups to learn, too, so scroll down for resources that can benefit members of all ages.
