Jackson EMC announces
Youth Citizenship Award
Jackson Electric Membership Corporation is currently accepting applica
tions for the Youth Citizenship Award (YCA).
“Juniors and Seniors are encouraged to apply,” stated Kay Parks of JEMC.
“As college admissions are becoming more competitive, we realize that
more students are looking for community oriented activities to place on
their applications and resumes, and this program will not only provide a
great resume builder, but will also applaud student volunteerism and civic
involvement.”
Applicants should be involved in community or school volunteer organi
zations where improving the community is the chief objective. Leadership
positions and GPAs are considered but are not a necessity for this award.
Rather, students should show why they volunteer and how much time they
devote to their activities.
The winner of this award will earn the prestigious title, along with: a
$2,000 college scholarship, a $1,000 grant to distribute to a school or civic
organization of choice, and an all-expense paid trip to Washingon, D.C. for
the Washington Youth Tour.
More than one student from a school may apply, and students do not have
to be Jackson EMC customers to participate but attend a high school in
Jackson EMC’s service territory. Applicants should complete an application
form and send at least one letter of recommendation from a sponsor of a
group where they volunteer. The deadline to apply is February 29, 2008.
To obtain an application form, please see your high school counselor or
contact Kay Parks at Jackson EMC at 706-367-6122. You may also down
load an application form at www.jacksonemc.com\citizenship.
