Prairie Land has a long tradition of sponsoring high school juniors for all-expenses-paid trips designed to enrich their leadership potential. Students have benefited from leadership camps in Colorado, youth tours in Washington, D.C., a KEY leadership conference in Topeka and scholarships.

The Electric Cooperative Youth Tour to Washington, D.C., will take place June 14-20, 2024 and Cooperative Youth Leadership Camp near Steamboat Springs, Colorado, is July 12-18, 2024.

The competitors completed a test and wrote an essay to bring to their interviews at the Concordia office or the Norton office on Feb. 11.

GAVIN HUGHES, Smith Center, and ISAAC STAMPER, Plainville, will attend the Electric Cooperative Youth Tour.

BREANNA REEVES, Scandia, and QUINN COLES, Clyde, will attend Cooperative Youth Leadership Camp.

This is an outstanding opportunity for these students to network with other young leaders, learn about electric cooperatives, practice some engineering and watch our government in action. Congratulations to these impressive young leaders!
