In 2019, Union Power Cooperative is partnering with the Kenan Fellows Program for Teacher Leadership to host a K-12 teacher. The selected teacher will participate in a year-long fellowship, including a paid summer internship at Union Power.

“We’re excited to be able to offer a teacher the opportunity to experience and learn about our co-op and our industry, knowing they will be able to take that knowledge and share it with students for years to come,” said Luanne Sherron, Union Power vice president of Key Accounts and Government Relations.
Applications are being accepted through January 21, 2019. Learn more and apply at union-power.com/kenan-fellows.
