Youth Tour Gives High Schoolers Inside Access to Washington, D.C.

The Electric Cooperative Youth Tour is ready for you in 2024! Like last year, both high school juniors and sophomores are able to apply.

ECI REC is looking for two eligible students to sponsor on this once-in-a-lifetime trip to Washington, D.C. The event will take place this summer. To apply, students must be in their sophomore or junior year of high school and have parents or legal guardians who are members of ECI REC.

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.
