COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY

As your local, not-for-profit electric co-op, Berkeley Electric is proud to encourage educational opportunities in the communities we serve. Even if you can't take advantage of these opportunities, please help spread the word so they can benefit as many members as possible.

Youth Tour & Summit-We're sending high school juniors and sophomores on trips they won't soon forget!

Both leadership experiences take place this summer but the application deadline for the trips is February 18. Visit our website to learn more and to apply online. (Must be a BEC member)
