At Piedmont Electric, we show our commitment to our communities through a wide range of youth programs. By empowering our current and future members, we ensure a brighter future for all. Check out what our community’s future leaders were up to this summer!
Every year, local high school students have the opportunity to visit the nation’s capitol for the Rural Electric Youth Tour. While on the tour, they are able to learn more about American history, the U.S. government and electric cooperatives, all while visiting the historic sights of Washington, D.C. Rising high school sophomores, juniors and seniors whose parents or grandparents receive electricity from Piedmont Electric are eligible to apply.
