Congratulations to Scholars rising senior Reilly Arford who spent the week of June 10, 2018 in Washington DC as part of the National Youth Tour. The Electric Cooperative Youth Tour has brought high school students to Washington, D.C. every June since the late 1950s. Students compete for slots for this unique opportunity and are selected for this program by their local electric cooperative by submitting an application, then participating in an interview.
The featured speakers during National Youth Day provide insight to the important roles electric cooperatives play in their community. Students gain a personal understanding of American history and their role as a citizen through meeting their representatives and senators and exploring the sights around our nation’s capital.
