Students returning from the Youth Tour will tell you it’s the most fun they ever had and they met so many new friends. They also return to the classroom filled with inspiration and a better understanding of their government and cooperative efforts, as they learn about American history and government.

They visit historical sights, monuments, Smithsonian Museums, the U.S. Capitol and many other places. They have exciting opportunities to meet their representatives in the House and Senate.

Applications are available at all area high school guidance counselors’ offices Dec. 15. Students can also pick up applications at our office or call us at 1.866.242.4232, or go to the youth section of our website. Applications will be due back in our office March 5, 2010. To complete the application process, applicants must be able to attend a personal interview scheduled for March 16, 2010.

More information on the trip is also available at youthtour.coop.
