Youth Tour 2024 Memories

Published on Wednesday, July 3, 2024 in Youth Tour

Each year, electric cooperatives across America select student delegates for NRECA Youth Tour.

This trip to Washington, D.C. gives students a chance to interact hands-on with our nation's capital city and discover the history of American electric cooperatives.

MEC's 2024 Youth Tour students, Norah and Areea, had a great time on their trip. They got to tour several important sites, including:

• The National Archives
• The Capitol Building
• The Smithsonian
• Ford's Theater
• Mount Vernon

They also got to meet Senator Debbie Stabenow and have a Q&A session with staffers from Representative Jack Bergman's office. Norah even got to lay a wreath during a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery.

As always, it was a valuable week of educational fun. Check out photos below, and find more at https://photos.youthtour.org/2024-Youth-Tour/Michigan.
