The Youth Tour is available only through Eau Claire Energy Cooperative’s Youth Ambassador Program and is valued at $2,000 per student.
This covers all planned activities including: air fare, coach bus tours, admission to performances and landmarks, meals, and lodging. Students will also have the chance to meet other students from around the country who are involved with their local energy cooperative. Because this is a coveted tour, students must be a part of the Youth Ambassador Program to apply.

- Visiting House and Senate representatives
