Electric Cooperative Youth Tour | Washington D.C. 

The Electric Cooperative Youth Tour has brought high school students to Washington, D.C. every June since the late 1950s. Be part of the nearly 1,500 high school students from across the nation for a fun-filled, all-expenses-paid week in the nation's capital!

Colorado Youth Tour participants begin the tour in Denver, where they learn about Colorado’s state government and rural electric cooperatives. From Denver, students fly to Washington, where they attend educational seminars and visit with Colorado state representatives in the House and the Senate. Students also visit historic sites in Washington, D.C., including the Lincoln Memorial, Mount Vernon, Arlington Cemetery and the Smithsonian, among others.

Participating in the Youth Tour is a great way to learn more about our nation's history, develop leadership skills, gain a better understanding of electric cooperatives and make lasting friendships.

United Power’s Youth Tour is open to high school students 16 years of age or older entering 11th or 12th grade, and whose primary residence is in United Power’s service territory. United Power will send three students to the Cooperative Youth Tour.
