Youth Tour 2023
Posted on July 24th, 2023
From June 16-22, Audrey Jones of Cabot, Kayleigh Baker of Bryant, Morgan Manning of Bryant, Jude Henry of Cabot and Andrew Schroeder of Bryant attended Youth Tour and explored the nation’s capital with delegates from other Arkansas electric cooperatives.
While in Washington, D.C., students learned about the cooperatives’ impact on rural communities. They also were able to meet Arkansas’ congressional delegation. Some of the historic sites they visited included: Mount Vernon, the Smithsonian Institution, Arlington National Cemetery, the Lincoln Memorial, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and the U.S. Capitol.
This year’s Youth Tour boasted the largest number of students in the group with 48 participants from around Arkansas.
