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 2025 Youth Tour student Jenna had a great time on her trip. She got to tour several important sites, including:
- The National Archives
- The Capitol Building
- Arlington National Cemetery
- The Smithsonian
- Ford's Theater
- Mount Vernon
Jenna says: "On the trip I learned a lot about our presidents and their pasts. I also learned how to talk to strangers and make new friends. I got really close with several of the other delegates and really hope to see them again soon!"
As always, it was a valuable week of educational fun. Check out Jenna's photos below, and click here to see more.
