High school sophomores and juniors with a passion for leadership and government are encouraged to apply for an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington D.C. in June!
Corn Belt Energy cooperative members (anyone who currently receives electricity from Corn Belt Energy) are welcome to nominate a child or grandchild to attend the Electric Cooperative Youth Tour. Up to 10 applicants will be selected by an impartial panel of judges to attend Illinois Cooperative Youth Day in Springfield. From that group, two students will be chosen to represent Corn Belt Energy by attending the Youth to Washington Tour, an all-expense-paid trip to Washington D.C. from June 15 - 22, with other statewide winners.
The Electric Cooperative Youth Tour has been bringing high school students to Washington D.C. for over 50 years. Students on the tour learn about electric cooperatives, American history and U.S. government and walk away with a greater understanding of their role as an American citizen. They participate in National Youth Day, visit with their representative and senators, and explore the sights around the nation’s capital.
We are no longer accepting applications for the 2012 tour. 2013 applications will be posted here in November.
Congratulations to Meredith Martin of Bloomington and Casey Lebre of Normal who will attend the Youth Tour trip to Washington DC in June 2012!
