National Intern Day is an opportunity to recognize the work our interns do to help build a brighter future for 2.5 million North Carolinians. This year’s group has worked alongside their teams at both the statewide office and three distribution cooperatives, bringing innovative ideas and picking up lessons they can take back to the classroom this fall. We want to thank them for their dedication and enthusiasm – their impact doesn't go unnoticed👏

About us
North Carolina’s electric cooperatives are a network of not-for-profit electric utility organizations powering the days and empowering the lives of 2.5 million North Carolinians from the mountains to the coast. There are 26 electric distribution cooperatives rooted in communities across the state, each committed to delivering homes, farms and businesses with safe, reliable, affordable and environmentally responsible electricity. There is a group of cooperative organizations in Raleigh that works for the 26 distribution cooperatives. This group includes: North Carolina Electric Membership Corporation, the power supplier to the co-ops; North Carolina Association of Electric Cooperatives, the trade association providing services to them; and Tarheel Electric Membership Association, the organization that supplies the cooperatives with the materials necessary to maintain their modern, sophisticated systems. Each cooperative is independent and owned by the people, called members, to whom it provides service. Those members elect the cooperative’s board of directors, which is responsible for establishing the cooperative’s policies, goals and strategies. The cooperative difference lies in our history and structure as not-for-profit utility providers that put people first. This difference positions us perfectly to operate daily with a unique purpose: to improve the quality of life in the communities we serve and empower our members to take control of their energy use.

During Parks and Recreation Month, we want to shine a light on Conservation Corps North Carolina, an organization we’ve proudly partnered with for the past decade to help revitalize and restore some of NC's historic parks and landmarks. Supporting their youth programs has helped the group serve hundreds of young people across the state, providing meaningful experiences that build job skills, cultivate leadership and connect youth to conservation work in their communities. Check out some of the amazing work their team does each summer⬇️

North Carolina’s electric cooperatives are investing in the future leaders of our state through experiences like the annual Electric Cooperative Youth Tour in D.C. For more than 57 years, this week-long tradition has given high school students a unique opportunity to explore our nation’s capital, learning skills and lessons that help them impact their local communities here in NC. Read more about this program and discover why one Union Power Cooperative delegate says the trip opened his eyes to the work co-ops are doing nationwide🔽 https://bit.ly/4cUj37M (Photos courtesy of John Boal Photography)
