2023 APPLICATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED! (2024 Youth Tour information will be available in late November 2023)

What is Youth Tour?

Sponsored by Firelands Electric and Ohio’s Electric Cooperatives, Youth Tour is an annual leadership program in Washington, D.C. This week long, all-expenses-paid trip gives outstanding high school students a unique look at American history and their role as a citizen. This is NOT your typical 8th grade trip!

Every year, Firelands Electric Cooperative gives high school sophomores and juniors the chance to compete for a spot on this FREE, one-of-a-kind trip to the nation's capital. The 2023 Youth Tour is scheduled for June 17-23.

Firelands will choose up to two students to travel to Washington, D.C., in June with about 40 other delegates from Ohio. During the trip, students meet up with as many as 2,000 other delegates from electric co-ops across the country, have the chance to meet and talk to congressional leaders from Ohio at the U.S. Capitol, and visit all of the sights in and around the city.

Click here for additional information about Youth Tour, or visit www.electric.coop.

What are the requirements to apply?

Applicants must be a current high school sophomore or junior who resides in a home receiving its electric power from Firelands Electric Cooperative. Selected students should be energetic and eager to make the most out of this fun and unique opportunity to learn. Candidates are evaluated on their school and community activities, demonstrated leadership, and a letter of recommendation. All application materials are available for download below. The deadline to apply is January 20, 2023.
