Each year, ECI REC pays the way for two high school juniors to attend the Electric Cooperative Youth Tour. The 2020 event will take place June 19–26. To be eligible for Youth Tour, students must be heading into their junior year of high school and have parents or legal guardians who are members of ECI REC. Applications can be found on our Youth Tour page and are due Wednesday, February 26, 2020.
On Youth Tour, students visit many D.C. monuments and sites, like those listed below. They also have the opportunity to meet with members of their state’s congressional delegation and discuss issues with them. Youth Tour is one of the most important programs ECI REC takes part in. Our teens are our future, and our future is looking brighter every day. For more information about the Youth
Tour program, email us at iowayouthtour@ecirec.coop or call us toll free at 877-850-4343. Also, follow the Iowa Youth Tour on Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, and Instagram!
