Colorado Youth Tour

Washington D.C. Youth Tour

 

Washington D.C. Youth Tour

Each summer, Morgan County REA sends one area student to the National Rural Electric Youth Tour in Washington, D.C. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the tour did not take place in summer 2020 or summer 2021. However, the tour will resume as normal this next summer, June 12-19!

The Youth Tour is an opportunity for high school students to learn about our government in a week of educational and fun events. Students from all over the United States, sponsored by their local rural electric cooperatives, converge to tour the exciting sites around the capital as well as meet with industry and government officials. Approximately 1,800 students attend the event annually.

Before departing for home, a full day is spent on Capitol Hill meeting with the Colorado congressional delegation, even eating lunch in the cafeteria with congressional staffers. In addition, the students are introduced to issues faced by rural electric cooperatives at the state and national level.

Application Deadline: 4:30 P.M. | Friday, December 17, 2021
