Co-op wants students for Washington tour

Lake Country Power is seeking a student to sponsor and attend the Electric Cooperative Youth Tour in Washington, D.C. for a week in June.

The cooperative is seeking high school sophomores and juniors to apply for an opportunity to be a representative on this year’s Electric Cooperative Youth Tour. The application deadline is Feb. 10, and all applicants must have parents or legal guardians who currently receive electric service from Lake Country Power.

Over 1,900 student delegates from all over the country go on the tour each year, including at least 40 students from Minnesota. Students visit with their congressional representatives, tour some of the most famous museums in the world, and make memories and friends that will last a lifetime. Students also learn about the electric cooperative business model and American history.

Students will find the application form online and more information at http://www.lakecountrypower.coop/youth-tour. Students can also contact Lake Country Power at 800-421-9959, extension 7152, and ask for Tami Zaun. School counselors have been informed about the opportunity and can be a local resource as well.
