CEC seeks applicants for Youth Tour

From staff reports

Central Electric Cooperative is happy to once again invite high school juniors to attend Youth Tour, a once-in-a-lifetime, all-expenses paid trip to Washington, D.C. from June 18 to 23.

Students will join participants from co-ops around the country to experience all the nation’s capital has to offer. This unique trip allows students to watch history come alive as they explore museums, memorials and monuments.

Some of the stops on the trip may include the U.S. Capitol, Smithsonian, Kennedy Center, Arlington National Cemetery, National Cathedral, National Zoo, Holocaust Museum, and much more.

Participants will meet student leaders from other states and hear from dynamic speakers. They will make friendships that last a lifetime and have the opportunity to meet U.S. senators and CEOs.

We believe our community’s youth should see their nation’s capital, learn about the political process and interact with their elected officials.

All high school juniors who reside in a home receiving electric service from CEC are eligible to apply by completing the application at www.central.coop.

All application requirements must be received by CEC by Feb. 3.

Additional information about Youth Tour is available at www.youthtour.coop, at www.central.coop, or by calling (800) 521-0570.

Youth Tour program funding comes from unclaimed capital credits and does not affect member rates.

Central Electric Cooperative, Inc. is a Touchstone Energy Cooperative serving approximately 25,000 members with over 3,000 miles of distribution line in portions of Allegheny, Armstrong, Butler, Clarion, Forest, Mercer and Venango counties.
