This Month’s Issue: Celebrating Our Youth

One of the missions important to North Carolina’s electric cooperatives is supporting future generations by providing them with resources to help ensure success. That’s why we’ve sponsored the Youth Tour to Washington, D.C., for more than 50 years, and why we dedicate funds to scholarships, classroom grants and youth programs like 4-H every year. In this issue, we’re pleased to share more about some of those programs, as well as hear from past participants.
