Youth Tour

EnergyUnited is now accepting applications for the 2024 Electric Cooperative Youth Tour program. Each year, EnergyUnited and electric cooperatives nationwide send two students on an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, D.C. to learn about our nation’s history while touring national monuments, museums and meeting with members of their state’s congressional delegation. The trip offers an incredible leadership opportunity if you are a student who is looking to boost your resume for college applications. Not only that, but if you are selected as one of our winners, you’ll also have the chance to meet new friends and make long-lasting memories.

Note: All finalists for the 2024 Youth Tour program will also receive sponsorship consideration for a spot to attend the CCNC Cooperative Leadership Camp in June 2024.
