Youth Tour

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.
