If you are a high school junior, you could be a winner of the Rural Electric Cooperative Youth Tour to Washington, D.C. for a week during June. It’s free, it’s exciting and it’s fun! You’ll join some 1300 high school juniors from across the United States to learn more about government, rural electrification, leadership and electric cooperatives.
The trip begins with a “Get Acquainted Banquet” in Oklahoma City, where everyone meets, makes new acquaintances and has an evening of fun. After arriving in Washington, D.C., the tour of our nation’s capitol includes days filled with sightseeing, a riverboat trip on the Potomac and breakfast with Oklahoma’s Congressional delegation. Students also attend a series of educational seminars to learn more about government, the cooperative form of business, and the business of rural electrification.
East Central Electric sponsors an annual essay contest to select students who will represent their service area as well as the state of Oklahoma during the Youth Tour trip
