Each year, Harrison REMC is excited to promote one of our seven cooperative principles, Commitment to Community. The future of our communities is our youth, and we support offering these programs to our youth members. These programs help middle and high school students learn more about energy, the cooperative business model, history, government, and much more. Please go to harrisonremc.com for more information and to apply.
Page Day
Page Day at the Indiana Statehouse will be on Jan. 26, 2027.

Students also get an inside look at how laws are made and the role citizens play in the democratic process. The program is open to high school students who can provide their own transportation to and from the Statehouse.
