CHELCO offers several educational programs tailored to the audience. 

Live Line Safety             

This outdoor event is perfect for audiences of all sizes and is ideal for first responders, students, civic organizations, and the general public. Using a full-scale model of power lines, poles, and equipment, CHELCO experts create dramatic, real-life scenarios with live wires and electric arcs to show just how dangerous electricity can be—and how to stay safe around it. Due to the use of live electricity, demonstrations require suitable locations and fair weather conditions.

EV 101                     

Get a hands-on introduction to the world of electric vehicles. This presentation covers the basics of EV ownership, charging, and how CHELCO is helping lead the charge with programs and resources for current and future EV drivers.

Co-op Environment            

This professionally-led, hands-on experience introduces students to local wildlife living on our wireways while teaching them about the electric cooperative model and how our community works together to keep the lights on.

All of CHELCO’s educational programs are free, but due to high demand, requests should be made in advance. You can fill out an interest form on our website at www.chelco.com/education-programs or call (850) 307-1122 to speak with an energy advisor.
