Horizon
Bank is pleased to announce the donation given to National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) LaPorte in the amount of $5,000.
This
contribution will directly support NAACP LaPorte County's Soul Power Program,
which provides training in solar installation and infrastructure for 35
students. Upon completion, participants have the opportunity for on-the-job
training with non-union companies and the potential to register for the IBEW
Local 531 apprenticeship electrician program. The program equips students with
essential technical skills, preparing them for sustainable careers in renewable
energy while benefiting the local community.
