Electric Cooperative Youth Tour

C & L Electric Cooperative will select outstanding high school juniors to attend the Electric Cooperatives of Arkansas Youth Tour, an all-expense-paid educational trip to Washington, D.C. from June 16-22. The winners will be selected through an essay contest. Applicants must be high school juniors, and their parents/guardians must be members of C & L Electric Cooperative.

Students selected to participate will have an opportunity to earn a $5,000 scholarship. Join Youth Tour delegates from across the country as you spend a life-changing week in Washington, D.C. Here are some experiences you can expect during the trip:

  • Tour the U.S. Capitol, and meet your U.S. Representatives and Senators
  • Tour some of the finest museums in the world, like the Smithsonian Institution and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum
  • Visit historic sites and memorials, like Mount Vernon, Arlington National Cemetery and the Lincoln Memorial
  • Develop lifelong friendships with delegates across the state and country.
In 2022, Arkansas Youth Tour delegates took a private evening tour of the U.S. Capitol. The 2022 Electric Cooperatives of Arkansas Youth Tour delegation in front of the White House.
