About SSEMC
Community Programs

"Owned by those we serve." It's a phrase that Snapping Shoals EMC and other co-ops like to use because it reminds us of the special relationship we have with our consumers.

When a company is owned by the very people it serves, it has a real stake in the community. At Snapping Shoals we genuinely care about the communities in our eight-county service area, because the people and businesses of those communities are Snapping Shoals EMC.

We want to have a positive impact on the area we serve, and we understand that a great way to do this is to help build strong leaders for tomorrow. Our scholarship program is an excellent example of our commitment to helping young people. The Snapping Shoals EMC Scholarships were created to recognize outstanding students throughout our service area and to help make it possible for them to continue their education. We also participate in the Walter Harrison Scholarship program, a statewide competition administered by Georgia EMC. Education assistance is offered through our Operation Round Up® program as well.

Operation Round Up is a program in which Snapping Shoals members can take great pride. Funded by member donations, it helps families and individuals with a wide variety of needs. Our members can participate by allowing their Snapping Shoals bill to be rounded up to the next highest dollar amount each month. Operation Round Up has been very successful, proving that small change really can change lives.

Snapping Shoals´ commitment to the community can be seen in other ways too. For instance, we work with local school systems to assist with special projects, such as mentoring and reading programs. We visit classrooms to provide educational programs on electricity. We provide presentations on energy topics for community organizations and homeowner groups. And many of our employees take an active role in various civic, business and community organizations.
