The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association Youth Tour has brought high school students to Washington, D.C. every June since the late 1950s. Students compete for slots for this unique opportunity and are selected for this program by their local electric cooperative.
The featured speakers during National Youth Day, which takes place during the Youth Tour, provide insight to the important roles electric cooperatives play in their community. Students gain a personal understanding of American history and their role as a citizen by meeting their representative and senators and exploring the sights around the nation's capital.
More than 40,000 students from rural areas and small towns across America have participated in this unique program. Some of the Youth Tour alums have gone on to serve in the highest ranks of our government, including the U.S. Senate.
If you want to be part of this fun (free!) week in Washington, please contact us at (907) 771-5711.
