Electric Cooperative is sending four high school juniors on the National Rural Electric Youth Tour this June. The annual educational trip to Washington, D.C., is hosted by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA).
The 2026 Youth Tour delegates are Howard High School junior Ann Connor, daughter of Michal and Rebecca Connor; White Lake High School junior Alexis Moore, daughter of Clint and Rebecca Moore; Kimball High School junior Delilah Rasmussen, daughter of Tony and Rebecca Rasmussen; and Wessington Springs High School junior Alexis Roesler, daughter of Aaron and Alicia Roesler.
The educational journey takes place June 14-20, 2026. Students from across the country will tour Washington, D.C., as they learn about history, the federal government, cooperative philosophy and rural electrification.
Central Electric and its founding cooperatives, Intercounty Electric and Tri-County Electric, have participated in NRECA’s Youth Tour since the 1960s. To learn more about the cooperative’s youth outreach and leadership initiatives, visit www.centralec.coop and click on member programs.
