Mid-Carolina Electric Cooperative is proud to announce its 2026 delegates for the Washington Youth Tour and the Cooperative Youth Summit. These outstanding students have been selected to represent our cooperative and community through two of the most impactful youth leadership programs offered by electric cooperatives.
