Youth Tour

The 2024 Youth Tour will be held in June 15 - 23, 2025!  

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(link is external). The students are sponsored by electric cooperatives – cooperatives that are committed to educating America's rural youth about America and the role electric cooperatives play in developing strong rural communities.  Participating in the Youth Tour is an awesome way to learn about this great nation, develop leadership skills, gain a better understanding of electric cooperatives, and make friendships that will last beyond the week!

If you would like to be a Youth Tour delegate in 2025, applications will be available with all area schools in the Fall of 2025 or you can click here to download and print the application.
