Youth Tour 2022

NRECA Youth Tour

The annual Youth Tour to Washington, D.C. is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity sponsored by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) and brings hundreds of high school juniors and seniors to our nation's capital each year for an exciting week of educational activities, tours, and fun.

People's Energy Cooperative sponsors one student from a high school serving families in our six-county service territory.  The student is chosen during an annual contest coordinated by People's Energy Cooperative's Cooperative Relations Department.  Entries are evaluated for: completeness, composition, neatness, ability to communicate, and school and community activities.
