Youth Tour

2022 Electric Cooperative Youth Tour

High School Sophomores and Juniors... Write a winning essay and win a trip of a lifetime -- an all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C.!

The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association's Youth Tour to Washington, D.C. is set for June 20-26, 2022. Compose the winning essay and represent Slope Electric Cooperative as part of the North Dakota delegation.

What is the Government-in-Action Youth Tour?

Every June, as many as 1,800 high school students from across the country spend a week in the nation's capital as part of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Youth Tour. The students are sponsored by electric cooperatives – cooperatives that are committed to educating America's rural youth about America and the role electric cooperatives play in developing strong rural communities.

Participating in the Youth Tour is an awesome way to learn about this great nation, develop leadership skills, gain a better understanding of electric cooperatives, and make friendships that will last beyond the week.
