Every year, CEC empowers high school students by sending them to Columbia and Washington, D.C. to gain invaluable experience in government and community service. Students will engage with lawmakers, discover the democratic process, and witness firsthand how their cooperative serves the community.

These experiences also open doors to scholarship opportunities. For more information or to apply, visit www.coastal.coop/community/for-students.
