Youth Education

MPW is proud to support our youth through various programs, scholarships & more.

Electric Safety Education for Schools

MPW performs electrical safety demonstrations for 4th grade classes in the Muscatine area and during other public events.

This is a great opportunity for students to learn about MPW and how electricity is generated and distributed to homes to power everything we enjoy.

A live, electrical demonstration is performed using our Electric Demonstration Trailer using safety measures that keeps our employees safe, helping children to identify hazards. This knowledge could keep them and their families safe!

School’s wishing to have demonstrations and learning activities regarding electric, water, communications, and safety topics please email; LearningwithMPW.org.
