Elevate Your High School Career with Youth Tour

Choptank Electric is now accepting applications for the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association’s 2022 Youth Tour program, which will take place June 20-24, 2022, in Washington, D.C.
This year, Choptank Electric will be accepting applications from junior and senior students, opening the program to students who were juniors last year and missed out on the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Youth Tour is an exclusive experience taking place in Washington, D.C., which includes meeting congressmen and senators, visiting the U.S. Capitol Visitor’s Center and the Capitol building, local memorials and museums, and other historic sites. In previous years, students have attended Nationals’ baseball games, the Kennedy Center, and the Pentagon. In addition, selected students will meet over 1,800 other co-op member students from across the country. Students can also gain exclusive leadership training and opportunities that build connections and skills assisting in their future career paths.
Youth Tour representatives are selected by Choptank Electric based on an application, a 90-second first-round, self-produced video, a short essay, and, if applicable, a second-round interview. To qualify for this opportunity, students must be juniors or seniors whose parents or guardians are Choptank Electric members. Applications are due by 4:30 p.m. Friday, January 14, 2022. All expenses are paid for by Choptank Electric.
Members can find applications online at Choptank Electric’s website at www.choptankelectric.coop under Member Benefits, Commitment to Community, Youth Tour or call the Member Service Center at 1-877-892-0001 for a mailed application.
