From birth through high school, DEMCO is helping shape the future by investing in young people across the communities we serve. In this episode of Co-op Conversations with DEMCO, host David Latona sits down with Chanon Martin, DEMCO’s Member and Community Engagement Manager, to talk about the many youth programs that connect families to their co-op.

You’ll hear how DEMCO supports early literacy through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, brings hands-on electrical safety education to classrooms, and provides high school students with leadership opportunities like the Youth Cooperative Ambassador Program and the annual Essay Contest. Plus, learn about scholarships, class talks, and other ways DEMCO partners with schools to make a lasting impact.

These programs are more than outreach — they reflect DEMCO’s mission to power life and community, today and for generations to come.
