Hey Junior! Youth Tour Applications are Being Accepted

Each year Broad River Electric Cooperative will once again send three local high school juniors on an expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C., as part of the Rural Electric Youth Tour. The 2012 tour takes place June 16-21.

The Youth Tour gives students a chance to learn about the political process, to interact with government officials and to make friends from across the state and nation. Broad River Electric’s Youth Tour delegates will join about 40 students representing other South Carolina co-ops. In Washington, the S.C. delegation will join more than 1,200 students from across the nation. One student from South Carolina will win a $2,500 college scholarship.

For details, call Member Services Coordinator Josh Crotzer at 206-7128, email at jcrotzer@broadriverelectric.coop,or visit your school’s guidance counselor. You can also download the application attached.
