Central Electric Cooperative is sponsoring a group of high school juniors to attend Youth Tour 2018 from June 10-15 in Washington, D.C.

Youth Tour is an all-expenses paid chance for youth to bond with fellow students, meet elected officials and experience the nation’s capital. More than 1,500 students from across America take part in the Youth Tour each year. The trip gives the opportunity to explore museums, memorials and monuments with other students. Some of the stops on the trip may include the Newseum, Arlington National Cemetery, Mount Vernon, Iwo Jima Sunset Parade, National Cathedral, Madame Tussauds’ Wax Museum, Smithsonian, National Zoo, a Kennedy Center production, the Holocaust Museum and a Potomac River Boat Cruise.
