After a two-year interruption, due to COVID, Megan Meyer (Patrick Henry High School), and Katherine Johnson (Patrick Henry High School) will be attending Ohio's Electric Cooperatives' Youth Tour to Washington, D.C. Youth Tour 2022 will be held June 18-24.

The Ohio's Electric Cooperatives Youth Tour is an annual weeklong youth leadership experience for high school students whose family is served by electric cooperatives. On the trip, students from across the country will be visiting the nation's capital and its many famous and historic sites, including Arlington National Cemetery, memorials, and national museums. Local students will have the opportunity to meet with Ohio's congressional delegation members on Capitol Hill and learn about public service and the cooperative business model.

Megan and Katherine will join nearly 40 students from the state of Ohio – and more than 1,800 students from electric co-ops across the country – who are participating in this year's Youth Tour.

Sites on this year's Youth Tour included the United States Capitol; the Vietnam and Korean War memorials; the Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Thomas Jefferson, and Martin Luther King, Jr. memorials; the Smithsonian Museums of Natural History and American History; the Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Center; and the Gettysburg battlefield.
