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 – cooperatives that are committed to educating America’s rural youth about America 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!
This all-expense-paid experience is geared towards high school juniors (who will be seniors during the school year following the Youth Tour) and whose parent(s) or guardian(s) are consumer-owners of Southern Indiana Power. Youth Tour takes place in June each year and Southern Indiana Power would love to send up to two individuals.
Youth Tour will be taking place June 11-18, 2023. To apply visit IndianaYouthTour.org by March 1, 2023.
In addition to the application, we would like for you to create a short 1-2 minute video of yourself so we can meet the person that you’ve described on your application by March 1, 2023. Instructions will be emailed to you by sending an email of interest to Rachael at: asommer@southernindianapower.com.
Please include the following:
1). Your name and the school you attend
2). Activities you enjoy
3). Why you would like to be selected to attend Youth Tour.
