Participants in the Youth Tour spend a week in Washington, D.C. where they will:
• Learn about electric cooperatives and the cooperative business model
• Spend a day on Capitol Hill, including face-to-face meetings with their senators and members of Congress
• Visit monuments and memorials • Explore museums
• Build lifelong friendships with other young leaders from across the country
“This is more than a field trip to Washington, D.C,”said Todd Minshall, KEC Youth Tour coordinator. "For many of these kids, it's a life changing experience.”
Youth Tour boasts many distinguished alumni, including Apple CEO Tim Cook, who represented Alabama- based Baldwin Electric Membership Corporation on the 1977 Youth Tour. In a commencement address to George Washington University’s Class of 2015, Cook cited Youth Tour as a moment that helped shape his view of the world.
The Youth Tour experience is offered at no cost to the student or family, Minshall added. The only out-of- pocket expenses are for incidentals, such as souvenirs and snacks.
“Electric cooperatives have sponsored the Youth Tour for more than 50 years because it is our responsibility as a co-op to invest in our next generation of leaders,” Minshall said.
Youth Tour will take place June 12- 19 in Washington, D.C. High school juniors interested in attending Youth Tour are asked to write a letter to the elected official of their choice on an issue they feel strongly about. Letters and entry forms should be submitted to Kiamichi Electric by 5 pm on March 4.
Contest guidelines and entry form are available online at
www.kiamichielectric. org, or pick up materials at your high school. If you have questions, please contact Minshall at 800-888-2731.
