I am excited to announce have been named semifinalists in the 2027 Coca-Cola Scholars Program.

I am among 23 students from Iowa — and among 1,227 from across the country — selected for their academic excellence, leadership, and service demonstrated in school and community activities. Semifinalists represent 1% of the more than 113,000 applicants.

I’m excited to be part of SYBAC and to have the opportunity to work with members of the Iowa Communications Network! I’m looking forward to putting the skills I’ve learned through this program into action and applying them to my work with nonprofits through the Web Uplift Foundation. Excited for what’s ahead!

💡 SYBAC STUDENT SPOTLIGHT 💡

Meet Syon, representing Johnston High School on this year’s Statewide Youth Broadband Advisory Council (SYBAC)! 🎓✨

💬 "That connection between innovation and accessibility is one reason I want to be part of the council. I want to better understand how Iowa is expanding access, how technology decisions are made on a larger scale, and how new healthcare technologies move from research in labs into real-world use."

We love Syon's big-picture mindset! At ICN, connecting all 99 counties is just the starting line. The true impact comes from empowering future leaders like him to dream big. Our SYBAC program gives students a front-row seat to how real-world broadband and tech decisions shape Iowa.

Help us welcome him to the team—drop a 👏 below or a comment!

The EcoTips Initiative website is now live!

It was amazing to work with Claire and the EcoTips team to build a website that highlights their mission and passion for sustainability and science-based practices.

We first met Claire at the Herbert Hoover Uncommon Student Scholarship outing, and we’re so glad that connection led to an opportunity to collaborate and create a website for EcoTips.

We’re proud to support organizations making a difference and help bring their missions to life online. 💚

Congratulations to Claire and the EcoTips team on their new website!

The new Kiwanis Club of Johnston website is officially live! We are very grateful for the opportunity to work with the Johnston Kiwanis, an organization supporting children and families across Iowa. It has been wonderful working with their officers and board members on building their new site. We developed a new site that highlights their mission, events, and community involvement. The new website improves user interface and focuses on finding ways to get the community involved with the Kiwanis.

We really look forward to the impact and success the Johnston Kiwanis will have in our community!
