Calling All Rising Seniors...

Article was added on Thursday, January 11, 2018

Each year, Santee Electric Cooperative, Inc. selects high school students to represent the co-op as delegates for the Washington Youth Tour and the Cooperative Youth Summit.

In the summer before their senior year, these lucky students join hundreds of others from across the country - all-expenses paid - to network and learn about our nation's capital, or a similar experience in our state's capital. The tour is a fast-paced leadership opportunity to see what makes America tick.

Rising seniors compete in written application, interview, and co-op knowledge.

The Washington Youth Tour, sponsored nationally by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) and statewide by Electric Cooperatives of South Carolina (ECSC), is a jam-packed backstage pass to Washington, D.C.

The Cooperative Youth Summit is sponsored by by Electric Cooperatives of South Carolina (ECSC), and is just as exciting time in Columbia, S.C.

Both trips offer rising high school seniors - students currently juniors - an unforgettable leadership experience in our nation's capital. It's free!
