Each year Somerset Rural Electric sponsors high school juniors on the National Rural Electric Youth Tour, a week long trip to Washington, D.C.
When in Washington, they join over 1,800 other students from around the country. They usually have the opportunity to meet with their senators and congressman and ask questions. It gives them a great opportunity to see how our government really works.
In keeping with our commitment to the communities, Somerset Rural Electric is pleased to invest in the youth of our area.
If you are interested in being selected for this trip, please see your high school guidance counselor or contact the cooperative office at 814-445-4106. Applications are available starting in November and due the end of January.
Applications are no longer being accepted for the 2026 Youth Tour trip. If you know of a student that will be a high school junior the 2026-2027 school year, applications will be available in November 2026.
If you are interested in Youth Tour, this presentation is a great insight to experiences and memories made in Washington, D.C.
