    YOUTH TOUR
    YOUTH TOUR APPLICATION

 

 

What is the Rural Electric Youth Tour?

Every June, as many as 1,500 high school students from across the country spend a week in the nation's capital as part of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Youth Tour. The students are sponsored by electric cooperatives, like Chariton Valley Electric, that are committed to educating America's rural youth about our nation and the role electric cooperatives play in developing strong rural communities.

Participating in the Youth Tour is an awesome way to learn about this great nation, develop leadership skills, gain a better understanding of electric cooperatives, and make friendships that will last beyond the week!

Who Can Attend?

Any full-time sophomore, junior or senior that attends a high school located within one of the 7 counties of CVEC's territory! Our territory includes Appanoose, Davis, Lucas, Marion, Monroe, Wapello and Wayne counties in the state of Iowa.

Note: neither the student, nor the school itself, is required to receive electricity from CVEC to be eligible.

When Does it Happen?

June 15-21, 2025
