Educational Programs
Get smart about energy
PSEG Long Island provides complimentary educational resources to schools and youth organizations throughout our service area. Our age-appropriate presentations cover critical topics like staying safe around electricity and preparing for severe weather. Beyond youth education, we offer critical infrastructure training for first responders, equipping police and fire personnel with the technical skills needed to manage electrical hazards safely.

Electric Safety Town (Grades 3-6)
This popular, interactive program teaches the principles of electric safety using a model of a two-story home and part of a residential neighborhood. With real-world scenarios of potential hazards, students learn about the potential dangers in their own neighborhoods or daily life and what do if faced with such a situation. Each presentation ends with a question and answer period.

Touch-A-Truck (Grades 3-6)
Similar to Electric Safety Town, Touch-A-Truck is a popular interactive program where students get up close to a real PSEG Long Island bucket truck. During this presentation, a trained professional in full gear guides students through an interactive, up close and personal, hands-on look in and around the truck to demonstrate how it works, how it is used and why. Discussion of safety measures and Q&A conclude this demonstration.
