North Carolina’s 26 electric cooperatives are rooted in the communities they serve, and they are committed to supporting their local communities and members. By investing in worthy programs focused on strengthening rural communities, advancing education, and supporting youth opportunities, electric cooperatives are building a brighter future for us all.

“Each year, North Carolina 4-H’ers gather to exchange ideas, gain knowledge and learn the importance of being an active and engaged citizen. This would never have been possible without NCEC and their commitment to youth voice and youth citizenship in action.”
-Sarah Kotzian, Youth and Adult Citizenship and Engagement Specialist, 4-H
