Electric Congress Delegation

North Carolina 4-H Electric Congress is an educational event designed to recognize excellence in the Electric Program throughout the state. Electric Congress travels from region to region of the state, thus allowing for a variety of programming opportunities for everyone. Four-H members participate in educational workshops, meet Power Company Representatives, learn about careers in the energy industry, and interact with other electric project participants. Special outings are planned to help youth learn more about their state. Whether in the mountains rafting on the Nantahala River, riding the waves at the beach, or somewhere in-between, the free afternoon at Electric Congress is fun for all participants. This year the University of North Carolina at Wilmington was our host campus. Electric Congress is held for county 4-H’ers who participate in the electric program.

Youth delegation from Cherokee County at the awards dinner during Electric Congress

This year our delegation consisted of 3 youth from Cherokee County  Isaac Brown,
Hannah Smith, and Grace Henderson. The youth boarded a bus in Sylva at 4:30 a.m. on July 10 and headed to the coast. The youth attended a career fair, workshops on completing a circuit board, built a small solar-powered car, participated in a community service project, and had fun at a local water park. We are also proud that our very own Isaac Brown led the delegation in the 4-H pledge on Wednesday, July 11, which was a first for me as an agent.
