Youth Education Programs

Cullman Electric Cooperative is proud to visit local schools for a focus on community helpers. Our team engages students with hands-on demonstrations, including a close-up look at our bucket trucks, real lineworker safety equipment, and fun lessons on electrical safety.

From Pre-K to 2nd grade, we can tailor our visit to meet your classroom's needs and educational goals. We're here to make learning engaging and memorable for your students!

Using a mini town table demo, linemen demonstrate the dangers of electricity and show how electricity reaches a home. It's a fun way to show what happens on a power line and why we need to be extra careful around electrical equipment. Cullman Electric will even provide a fun handout, ranging from coloring books to plastic hard hats. 

This demo is ideal for 2nd through 6th grade and can be tailored to meet the needs of the grade and/or teacher's requests. 

Cullman Electric Cooperative offers classroom presentations for students in grades 6–12 to explore careers in the energy industry. From lineworkers and engineers to IT, communications, and fiber optics, we highlight a wide range of career options.

Our team shares what these jobs are like, the skills needed, and how students can prepare for them. Whether they enjoy hands-on work or technology, there’s something for everyone in energy.

Presentations can be customized to fit your class needs. Let us help your students discover exciting career possibilities!

Cullman Electric Cooperative offers classroom presentations for students in grades 6–12 that dive into the co-op’s rich history and impact on our community.

Students will learn about the formation of Cullman EC, how electric cooperatives operate, and why they remain important today. We cover the cooperative principles, our member-owned structure, and how we’ve grown to serve over 49,000 members across multiple counties.

These presentations bring local history to life, helping students understand the power of community cooperation. Sessions can be tailored to fit your classroom’s curriculum and schedule.

Cullman EC can host students from elementary to high school, offering simple lessons in electrical safety or more complex lessons on electrical engineering, power generation, or careers in energy. Students can also tour the facility and speak with employees from different departments, and, if the weather is nice, view a bucket truck and a drone. 

Field trips can be tailored to meet the teacher's needs and students' ages. Please include these specific instructions in your request.
