High school juniors have a chance to join other Indiana youth on a trip of a lifetime.

According to David Vince, general manager of Clark County REMC, the Indiana delegation will include approximately 75 students from throughout the state, each selected by his/her local cooperative. Hoosier students will travel to Washington, D.C. where they will join over 1,600 students - representing 44 states - for the Rural Electric Youth Tour Rally, sponsored by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Assosication (NRECA).

“Clark County REMC is pleased to be able to provide this opportunity for local students,” Vince said. “It’s a great trip and a wonderful chance to see the sights, make new friends and learn how everyone, even young people, can be a leader and make a difference in the world.”

Indiana’s electric cooperatives have hosted the Youth Tour since 1960, providing hundreds of young Hoosiers the opportunity to visit our nation’s capital and learn about the federal government and the cooperative utility industry.
