JUNIOR & SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

Every June, over 1,800 high school Juniors and Seniors 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 – cooperatives that are committed to educating America's rural youth about America and the role electric cooperatives play in developing strong rural communities.
During the week, youth will get the opportunity to tour the Lincoln Memorial, National Cathedral, The White House, Air and Space Museum, Washington Monument, U.S. Capitol, Ford’s Theatre, The Kennedy Center, the Metro, Arlington National Cemetery, Mount Vernon, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, The Smithsonian, Iwo Jima Statue, National Archives, U.S Supreme Court, and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Students will also get the opportunity to participate in a breakfast briefing with the South Dakota Congressional Delegation.

Who is eligible and what does it cost?

Any high school junior or senior whose parents are members of Union County Electric are eligible to apply for the youth tour. Your local cooperative funds the weeklong event. The funding for the tour provides for each participant’s transportation, room and board, entertainment, and sightseeing events. Students are required to provide their spending money (snacks and souvenirs).

When is it held and how do I apply?

The weeklong trip will be held on June 17-23, 2027. Participants will meet for an orientation meeting on Sunday, June 14 in Sioux Falls and return to South Dakota on Saturday, June 20. A commercial bus will be used for transportation while in D.C.

One of the best ways to protect yourself from online scams is by using strong passwords. While many people focus on complexity—adding symbols, numbers and capital letters—password length is equally important. A longer password or passphrase is harder for cybercriminals to crack. Create memorable phrases made up of several unrelated words, and avoid using personal information like birthdays or pet names. Use a unique password for each account and enable multi-factor authentication when possible.
