Each July, Fairfield Electric Cooperative sends four rising high school juniors to the Cooperative Youth Summit in Columbia. Students experience our capital city by touring the State House, meeting lawmakers and seeing how co-ops are preparing for SC's energy future. The trip is all-expenses-paid by Fairfield Electric.
Applications for the 2026 trip are now closed. The next Cooperative Youth Summit will be held in July 2027. Please visit this page in January 2027 for next year's application.
For additional information, please contact Stephanie Martin by phone at (803) 691-3636 or via email at smartin@fairfield.coop. You can learn more about Youth Summit by visiting Cooperative Youth Summit.
