Every year electric cooperatives in Missouri sponsor essay contests to select delegates to the annual Youth Tour to Washington, D. C. These fortunate high school students represent their local cooperative on a whirlwind tour of the nation's capital. They tour museums, visit America's most cheirshed monuments and even meet their elected officials. All the while they are learning about electric cooperatives and their role in the community.

If you are a high school junior, you are eligible to participate in the Youth Tour program. Contact Jayne Scott at AHEC for further information.
