Are you a rising high school junior or senior interested in spending a week in Washington, D.C., learning about government, U.S. history, and the cooperative business model? If so, we invite you to apply for the 2022 Youth Tour to Washington, D.C.

The application period is now open, and Pee Dee Electric is looking to select the best candidate to represent us at next summer’s Youth Tour in June. Applications are available in the guidance office of all area local high schools or can be accessed online at pdemc.com. Be a part of the 40-plus outstanding high school students selected from electric cooperatives across the state to travel to our nation’s capital, Washington, D.C.

As part of the Youth Tour experience, participants will have the opportunity to win one of three scholarships, including the prestigious Youth Leadership Council (YLC) Scholarship. In addition to the scholarship, the YLC designee will represent the state of North Carolina in an elite leadership-building program and on a national stage at the 2023 national annual meeting of electric cooperatives.
