Electric cooperatives are built on a set of guiding principles, and one of the most defining is "Concern for Community." CEC strives to be a good neighbor by investing in its local communities through advocacy, outreach, and education. 

CEC's Safety City presentation brings electrical safety to life for third-and-fourth-grade students by using a portable neighborhood equipped with buildings, homes, people, power lines and moving props. The tabletop unit allows our team of Safety City facilitators to teach schools, scout groups and other organizations about how electricity works and how to stay safe around it. Each scenario in the demonstration is something the students could see living in a rural area similar to CEC’s service territory. This presentation is a great way to supplement the students’ electricity lesson or unit.
