Rachel Youth Tour

Why take a chance and apply? It’s a trip of a lifetime and a life-changing experience for any student. But don’t take our word for it. Here is a profile of Rachel Eickhoff, CCEC's 2023 delegate!

Rachel Eickhoff, a student at Bandon High School, recently returned from a trip to Washington, D.C., where she participated in the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association Youth Tour.

The NRECA Youth Tour is a prestigious program in the electric industry, bringing together young leaders from electric cooperatives across the nation for a weeklong educational experience. The tour aims to teach delegates about the history and government of the United States, the electric cooperative business model and the importance of civic engagement. Participants also get an opportunity to explore the nation’s capital and interact with government officials.

Rachel was selected to participate in the NRECA Youth Tour through a competitive application process. She is actively involved in extracurricular activities at her high school, holding positions in the National Honor Society, Student Council and the Associated Student Body, including historian, spirit chair, and class president.

In her application, Rachel expressed gratitude to CCEC for powering her family’s life and appreciated the cooperative’s commitment to the safety of the public, employee welfare and respect for the members it serves. CCEC’s decision to sponsor Rachel reflects the cooperative’s dedication to supporting and nurturing young talent within the community it serves.

During the NRECA Youth Tour in Washington, D.C., Rachel joined other outstanding delegates from Washington, Oregon and California, embarking on an enriching journey together, organized by the Oregon Rural Electric Cooperative Association.

Throughout her time in Washington, D.C., Rachel engaged in meaningful discussions with elected officials and participated in various educational programs, offering valuable insights into the functions of electric cooperatives and governance.

“It was an amazing experience,” Rachel says. “I learned so much about electric cooperatives and the importance of civic engagement. I also made some great friends from all over the country.”

Rachel’s visit to the nation’s capital was undoubtedly unforgettable, leaving a positive impression on all those she encountered during her journey. Her achievements, dedication and passion demonstrated the potential of the younger generation to shape the future of electric cooperatives and their commitment to serving their local communities.
