Every June, more than 1,800 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.
To earn the tour opportunity, students must compete against other students in our region by writing an essay. If their essays are selected as finalists, they must compete by presenting their essays in oral competition.
Please, congratulate Delaney Howe (1st place winner) and Olivia Basinger (2nd place winner) who competed against 70 other students with their essays and presentations, earning a trip to Washington DC representing Missouri's junior delegates for our region. We're so proud of them!
