Each year, Iowa’s local electric cooperatives offer the Iowa Rural Electric Youth Tour to Washington, D.C. The 2025 Youth Tour trip is set for June 15-21, 2025. Highlights of the trip include touring historic sites, exploring the Smithsonian museums, meeting Iowa’s congressional leaders, spending a day on Capitol Hill and much more! Students will make new friends from across the nation, as they join hundreds of other Youth Tour participants. SIEC will be taking applications for the 2025 Youth Tour trip from January 1 - February 28, 2025. Any sophomore, junior or senior high school student in Southern Iowa Electric Cooperative's service territory is eligible to apply--PARENTS NEED NOT BE A MEMBER! SIEC's service territory includes: Davis County and portions of Appanoose, Van Buren, and Wapello counties. You can find the application form on our website, www.sie.coop, under “Community & Econ Dev” then “Iowa Youth Tour.” Once we receive an application, we will send applicants the information needed to prepare for the interview, which will be held in March at our office, 22458 Hwy 2, Bloomfield. One lucky student will be chosen to represent SIEC! For more info, visit www.iowayouthtour.com.
