Electric Cooperative Youth Tour

The 2025 Youth Tour is scheduled for June 16-22. Coordinated by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA), the Youth Tour brings together nearly 2,000 students from 44 states, providing an opportunity for students to learn about electric cooperatives, see the nation's capital up close, learn about the political process, and interact with elected officials. Student groups are organized by state, but will will all come together to meet each other on Youth Day. 

Both Youth Energy Camp and the Youth Tour of Washington, D.C., are paid for by electric co-ops. The cost of the Youth Tour is paid either by the Wyoming Rural Electric Association, the Nebraska Rural Electric Association or, in some cases, by Wyrulec Company. When Wyrulec Company pays for the D.C. trip, the funds are paid out of the interest accumulated from the unclaimed capital credits account.
