YOUTH AWARDS PROGRAM FOR ENERGY ACHIEVEMENT

All NEED schools have classroom-based programs in which students learn about energy. Many schools have student leaders who extend these activities into their communities. To recognize outstanding achievement and reward student leadership, the NEED Project conducts the National Youth Awards Program for Energy Achievement. Students and teachers set goals and objectives, and keep a record of their activities. Students compile their materials into scrapbooks and send them to their state coordinators.

State panels review the projects, select state winners, and send those reports on to national headquarters. A national review panel evaluates the state winners and selects national winners in primary, elementary, junior and senior categories, as well as choosing district level and rookie winners. A special category level was added for community colleges, youth clubs, and home school networks. 

Schools are listed by state alphabetically.
