The Government-in-Action Youth Tour is a youth leadership program sponsored by Fayette Electric Cooperative and organized by Texas Electric Cooperatives and the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association. For more than 50 years, electric cooperatives across the state and nation have been sending young adults to the nation’s capital for an action-packed tour.

Highlights of the trip include meeting congressional leaders, visiting national monuments and historic sites, touring Smithsonian Institution museums, going on a boat cruise on the Potomac River, seeing a show at the Kennedy Center and rallying with more than 1,700 fellow students for a day of inspirational leadership speakers.

To win what has been called the trip of a lifetime, apply now for the Fayette EC contest. To apply, submit an application to be judged independently through Fayette Electric Cooperative.

Eligible entrants must:

• Be a sophomore, junior or senior;
• Be a dependent of a Fayette EC member with permanent resident status in the co-op’s service area; and
• Submit an application by January 19, 2018.
