A LIFE-CHANGINGEXPERIENCE

THOUGHTS FROM PASTYOUTH TOUR DELEGATES

Since 1964, Jackson EMC and hundreds of electric cooperatives nationwide have sent more than 50,000 student delegates on the Washington Youth Tour. Beyond the educational value of the trip, students are given the opportunity to grow and develop their leadership potential, including inspiring meetings with America’s local and national leaders.

Washington, D.C. is filled with so much history that you can’t help but appreciate the vision that our forefathers had for this country. The U.S. has come a long way in its development and Washington is the place where it all began.

After participating in this trip, I have a better understanding of how our government and nation functions. I’m more determined than ever to serve my community, state and country to the best of my ability.

Exploring D.C. was wonderful! The teambuilding and leadership activities allowed me to make 110 new friends and contacts for life.

Washington Youth Tour helped me realize the importance of quality leadership skills.

Soak in every minute, it’s an amazing opportunity. There’s time to sleep next week.
