Each June, more than 1,800 young people from around the U.S. head to Washington, D.C., as part of the NRECA Youth Tour. Participants learn about the role that electric cooperatives play in a free enterprise system, especially as it relates to providing electric energy. During the Youth Tour, which is happening this week, students visit Capitol Hill, meet with members of Virginia’s congressional delegation, tour the U.S. Capitol Building, enjoy a dinner cruise down the Potomac River, a Washington Nationals baseball game, sightseeing at iconic U.S. monuments, museums, and much more! Enjoy these photos from the 2019 Youth Tour happening this week!
