Powered Up!

Powered Up! provides hands-on learning experiences for youth to explore alternative, affordable, and clean energy while enabling them to be energy champions in their own communities through a variety of activities. This initiative allows youth to learn either at home with their families or through their 4-H club supported by their volunteer leader.
