What is Youth Tour?

The youth tour is a two-phase program.  The first phase includes a two-day visit to Montgomery March 11-13, where participants explore the state capitol, engage in leadership and team-building opportunities and meet with state legislators and other state officials. Once students return from Montgomery, they are invited to the cooperative to compete through an interview process for the opportunity to represent the co-op on the Washington, D.C. Youth tour the week of June 14-20 - a week filled with historical exploration of our nation's capital city. Sites include the Washington and Lincoln Monuments, Vietnam Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery, Mt. Vernon, The Smithsonian Museums and much more. While several  students will have the opportunity to visit Montgomery, only three will be chosen to represent them on the memorable Washington, D.C. Youth Tour.
