Altamaha EMC is proud to announce the presentation of a $1,000 STEAM grant to the Ohoopee Regional Library System to support its innovative educational programs focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM).

The grant was made possible through a partnership with Green Power EMC, a renewable energy provider owned by 38 electric cooperatives in Georgia. The funding will help expand STEAM programming for local students and families, offering hands-on learning opportunities that inspire curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of discovery.

“We are proud to support the Ohoopee Regional Library System and their efforts to enhance educational opportunities in our community,” said George McLendon, General Manager of Altamaha EMC. “Investing in STEAM education is an investment in our children’s future, and we are grateful to Green Power EMC for their partnership in making this possible.”

The Ohoopee Regional Library System plans to use the grant to enhance programming and educational resources across its branches, fostering a deeper understanding of STEAM concepts in an engaging and inclusive environment.

Altamaha EMC remains committed to supporting local organizations that promote learning, innovation, and community development.
