Successful membership at all ages

Grow­ing up is hard to do. You are sud­den­ly respon­si­ble for choos­ing the right path for your future and pay­ing your own bills. As a young mem­ber, you were able to enjoy safe­ty demon­stra­tions, career fairs and mag­ic shows. As a young adult, you might have your first real account. That’s okay—we’ve got your back. Mem­ber­ship at your local elec­tric coop­er­a­tive is made for any age because we have the resources and pro­grams to sup­port you and your jour­ney. Whether you need help bud­get­ing your bill for the first time, tips on sav­ing ener­gy, learn­ing how to access your account from your cell phone, or a way to con­nect with your com­mu­ni­ty, YEC is here to help, work­ing with you so that you are suc­cess­ful.

Speak­ing of suc­cess, we all define the term dif­fer­ent­ly. For some mem­bers, suc­cess means pay­ing their bill each month in exchange for reli­able ser­vice.

Suc­cess to you could mean rec­og­niz­ing a famil­iar voice when you call your co-op or see­ing a famil­iar face when you enter the office each month. Oth­ers see suc­cess as a way to con­nect on var­i­ous plat­forms, active­ly seek­ing ways to save ener­gy to make a dif­fer­ence. That’s what is great about YEC—our diver­si­fied mem­ber­ship. We are here for all of you and to sup­port each of your needs, even those who are feel­ing the grow­ing pains of leav­ing home to achieve a degree in high­er edu­ca­tion for the first time.

Noth­ing is bet­ter than see­ing our youngest mem­bers become young adults and achieve their dreams. YEC is proud to find inno­v­a­tive ways to sup­port our com­mu­ni­ties, our youth and you. What does suc­cess look like for you?
