Congratulations to Natalia Kyvyrzhik for being selected as the Central Missouri Electric Cooperative Youth Tour Delegate.
Youth Tour directors from each state association arrange their delegation’s visits to their U.S. representatives’ and senators’ offices, federal agencies and other educational and sightseeing activities. In addition to the planned statewide activities, NRECA coordinates several multistate activities focusing on leadership development and electric co-op advocacy, including Youth Day. During the program, delegates meet each other and hear featured speakers who provide insight into electric cooperatives’ important roles in their communities.
Students apply and are selected for the Youth Tour by their local electric cooperative to allow them to gain a personal understanding of American history and their role as citizens.
The trip will take place on June 14-20, 2026.
