Youth Tour 2026

Every year, a select group of Arkansas high school juniors trades their textbooks for a
front-row seat to history. Clay County Electric is looking for outstanding students to join the Electric Cooperatives of Arkansas Youth Tour, an all-expenses-paid, week-long leadership experience in our nation’s capital. From June 13-19, delegates will join more than 1,800 students from across America for a lifechanging journey. This isn’t just a sightseeing trip; it is an opportunity for young leaders to discover their voices, develop leadership skills and begin shaping the legacy they will leave behind.

• Meet Your Leaders: Tour the U.S. Capitol and engage with Arkansas’ Congressional
delegation.

• Explore World-Class Museums: Visit the Smithsonian Institution and the U.S.
Holocaust Memorial Museum.

• Walk Through History: Pay respects at Arlington National Cemetery and visit
historic sites like Mount Vernon and the Lincoln Memorial.

• Build Lasting Bonds: Develop lifelong friendships with peers from across the state
and the country.

Beyond the experiences in D.C., students selected for the program will have the
chance to earn a $5,000 scholarship.
