“We have a new program planned for 2022, and we couldn’t be more excited to be back in person,” said CCNC Executive Director Emily Nail. “Sessions will include workshops about co-op farming; financial planning; the electric co-op lineworker experience; and the concepts of diversity, equity and inclusion in business.”

Applications for this summer’s Cooperative Leadership Camp are now being accepted from rising high school sophomores, juniors and seniors across North Carolina. All campers are sponsored to attend by cooperatives or funding through CCNC. Co-op leadership campers are also eligible for the $1,000 Jim Graham college scholarship, which they can apply for during their senior year of high school.
