What is the Legislative Youth Tour?

The 2023 Legislative Youth Tour is sponsored by Steuben Rural Electric Cooperative and is available to students who reside in a home serviced by the Cooperative.  Qualified students who apply have the opportunity to participate in an exciting trip to Washington D.C. from April 15 - April 19, 2023.  The selected student will join representatives from the Cooperative in meetings on Capitol Hill with members of Congress as part of the annual National Rural Electric Cooperative Association ("NRECA") Legislative Conference.

Students will also have the chance to enjoy a tour of Washington D.C. with student representatives from the other New York State electric cooperatives. 

Participating in the Youth Tour is a great way to learn about this great nation, develop leadership skills, gain a better understanding of electric cooperatives, and make friendships that last forever.  All applications must be received in our office by 4pm on March 14, 2023.
