What is Youth Tour?

The Ohio's Electric Cooperatives Youth Tour is an annual leadership program sponsored by Carroll Electric. It's a week-long, all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, D.C., that gives exceptional high school sophomores and juniors the opportunity to meet with congressional leaders at the U.S. Capitol, make new friends from across the state and country, and see many of the famous Washington sights. Electric cooperatives from 44 states will send 2,000 students for the annual tour.
