Every June more than 1,300 high school students from towns and small cities in rural America spend a week in the nation's capital as part of the National Rural Electric Youth Tour. The students are sponsored by electric cooperatives – cooperatives who 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 a great 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.
The annual Government-in-Action contest is open to high school juniors whose parents or legal guardians are members of Continental Divide Electric Co-op. In December, contest entries are sent to each high school in the co-op’s service area. Winners are selected in February.
