Missouri Electric Cooperatives will be attending the Youth Tour to D.C. on June 14-20, 2024.
The Youth Tour is an annual week-long all-expense-paid event that brings together approximately 100 high school juniors from Missouri and more than 1,600 juniors from all over the country to explore our nation’s capital and learn more about government, cooperatives, leadership and the sites of D.C.! High school juniors attending a school, or being home-schooled, in the Macon Electric Cooperative service area are eligible to apply. {Children or grandchildren of employees or directors are NOT eligible.} To apply, students must submit an essay (500 to 1000 words in length) using MLA format and contestant application (found below). The top eight essay finalists will be invited to participate in a personal interview. The top four overall total scores will be invited to attend Youth Tour. The 2024 essay topic is to answer the question "How has growing up or living in a rural community impacted you?" Bonus points for mentioning cooperatives.
All applications and essays must be received by 4:30 p.m. on Friday, February 23, 2024.
