Washington Youth Tour is Back In-Person in 2023

BACK IN-PERSON!
After a two-year hiatus due to COVID-19 restrictions, Washington Your Tour is officially back in-person! Tri-County EMC will sponsor two local high-school students to represent Georgia as a delegate on the Washington Youth Tour, a week-long, all-expenses paid, adventure in Washington, D.C.

The fast-paced, high-energy program is designed to give students a taste of democracy in action, expose them to the nation’s rich history through visits to national monuments and museums, and encourage students to become active in their communities.

The tour begins in Georgia where students get to know each other, and learn about Georgia’s 41 EMCs and the electric cooperative industry. Students will engage in many team building exercises and leadership activities. The group then travels to Washington, D.C. to connect with more than 1,500 students from across the country!
