There’s No Telling How Youth Tour Will Inspire You.
Youth Tour is a once-in-a-lifetime, all-expenses-paid leadership travel opportunity for high school sophomores and juniors (going into their junior or senior year this summer), sponsored by Michigan’s electric cooperatives. From the battlefields of Gettysburg, to the halls of Congress in Washington, D.C., Youth Tour will explore the leadership lessons of our nation’s history and immerse you in the cooperative spirit.
What Youth Tour Is All About.
Leadership Is Our Focus
From the monuments and memorials, to our meetings with Congress, the focus of Youth Tour is LEADERSHIP. And if you’re ready for the ultimate youth leadership experience, check out the Youth Leadership Council.
Cooperation Is Our Purpose
Electric cooperatives power communities and empower their member-consumers to improve their quality of life. We share this spirit of COOPERATION throughout the Youth Tour experience.
History Is Our Guide
From Civil War to civil rights, to the issues we face today. Youth Tour goes where great leaders have gone before, and explores the possibilities of our nation’s future through the lens of its HISTORY.
This Is How We Roll.
Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime: June 9-14, 2018.

Our group will meet at a cooperative office in Portland for orientation and lunch (parents welcome!), then board our motor coach bound for Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Expect some fun, engaging activities along the way to help us get to know each other and explore the co-op leadership principles that will be the foundation of our Youth Tour experience.
