Attention High School Juniors!
The Rural Electric Youth Tour is a group of more than 1,500 high school students who visit Washington, DC every June. Students on the tour learn about electric cooperatives, American history and the US government. They attend educational seminars and visit with their representatives in the House and Senate. They see historical sights in and around Washington, DC -- the US Capitol, the monuments, the Smithsonian, Arlington Cemetery, Mt. Vernon and other places -- and they learn about the cooperative business model.
The annual tour is coordinated by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association and is sponsored jointly by NRECA, electric cooperatives such as Coos-Curry Electric and by statewide electric cooperative associations such as the Oregon Rural Electric Cooperative Association. Check the links below for the 2010 Youth Tour rules. Applications must be received by February 18. More information is available at your high school.
