What is the Government-in-Action Youth Tour?
Every June, as many as 1,500 high school students from across the country spend a week in the nation's capital as part of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Youth Tour. The students are sponsored by electric cooperatives, which are committed to educating America's rural youth about America and the role electric cooperatives play in developing strong rural communities.
Area high school students interested in government and public service are encouraged to apply. It's an all-expense paid trip to Washington, D.C., June 15-21, 2025, and a $500 scholarship. It is an awesome way to learn about this great nation, develop leadership skills, better understand electric cooperatives, and make friendships that will last beyond the week!
