Beginning Nov. 1, Victory Electric will accept applications for the 2024 Electric Cooperative Youth Tour (Youth Tour) in Washington, D.C., and Cooperative Youth Leadership Camp (CYLC) near Steamboat Springs, Colorado.

At Youth Tour, June 14-20, watch history come alive as you explore world-class museums and monuments and take a cruise on the Potomac River. You’ll meet with elected officials, learn about the cooperative business model and make new friends from all over Kansas and 43 other states.

At CYLC, July 12-18, go rafting on the Colorado River, tour a power plant and enjoy the beautiful Rocky Mountain scenery. You’ll also develop your leadership skills and connect with 100 other high school students from Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming and Oklahoma.

The best part? The trips are FREE! Victory Electric will cover the expenses. New this year: $500 scholarships will be offered to each of our four trip winners following their graduation!
