Youth Tour
Students Invited To Apply For a
Trip of a Lifetime
Flint Hills REC has a strong tradition of promoting youth leadership and that tradition will continue with two in-person leadership programs this summer. Flint Hills REC will select two individuals and they will have their choice to attend one of two all-expenses-paid trips to either the Washington D.C. Youth Tour or the Cooperative Youth Leadership Camp.
The Washington D.C. Youth Tour will be June 14– 20, 2025. Students will join 1700 youth from across the nation in Washington D.C. They will see the monuments and other attractions, as well as visit Capitol Hill to learn more about how our government works. Those selected for this experience also can apply for the Kansas seat on a national youth leadership council.
The Cooperative Youth Leadership Camp will be held July 11-17, 2025, and will be held near Steamboat Springs, Colorado. High school students from electric cooperative communities in Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Wyoming participate in this leadership camp. Together, they will create a candy cooperative, hear from dynamic speakers, and raft down the Colorado River.
If you know of a student with strong leadership potential who is ready for new experiences, would like to network with other student leaders, and is willing to learn more about themselves and their communities, encourage them to apply for these incredible leadership opportunities.
