Submission are open for The NEED Project's Annual Youth Awards Program for Energy Achievement!
Youth Awards projects are energy outreach activities that are student-driven and student-run. Students work together to plan and track their goals, complete activities and outreach, and document their learning to submit a 15-slide project submission showcasing their work.
The Youth Awards Program is great for all schools—brand new to energy education, or veteran. Projects and outreach completed for the program provide opportunity for enrichment and engagement. Submitting a project is also a wonderful opportunity to recognize student leadership in your classroom or afterschool club. They also welcome energy community projects from scouting troops!
Project submissions are due April 15, 2026 and you can find more information on their website at: youthawards.need.org/
