Washington Youth Tour
Washington Youth Tour is an all-expense paid trip to Washington D.C., for current high school juniors. More than 1,500 students from across the nation take part in the experience each June. They meet United States senators and representatives and explore museums, memorials and monuments. The experience also provides the opportunity to get to know other student leaders from across South Carolina and the United States.
Cooperative Youth Summit
The Cooperative Youth Summit is an all-expense paid trip to Columbia, South Carolina, for current high school sophomores. This four-day, three-night experience offers students the opportunity to enhance leadership skills, participate in team-building exercises, learn interesting information about electric cooperatives, learn how state government works and spend time with students from across our great state. Cooperative Youth Summit is a great way to prepare applicants for the opportunity to attend Washington Youth Tour.
