Leadership tour/camp opportunities for high school students
If your parents get their electric power from SLVREC and you’re a high school junior or senior, then you can apply for a trip you’ll remember forever.
SLVREC invites high school students to represent the co-op at the Electric Cooperative Youth Tour in Washington, D.C. from June 17-24, 2024.
Spend a week in Washington D.C. with other local student leaders learning the history of cooperatives, meeting with state representatives and developing leadership skills. Students will also visit historical sites, including the Lincoln Memorial, Mount Vernon, Arlington Cemetery and the Smithsonian.
Or if Washington, D.C. doesn’t interest you... REC will also send one student to the Youth Leadership Camp near Steamboat Springs from July 13-18, 2024. The camp brings young people together to learn about how electric cooperatives operate and build their leadership skills.
To be the lucky winner of the Youth Tour or the Youth Leadership Camp, the application process includes submitting a 500-word essay or a three-minute video. The deadline for submitting applications is Jan. 9, 2024. More details can be found online at slvrec.com (Community tab) or contact Jennifer Alonzo at jalonzo@slvrec.com.
