Beginning in 1965, Fayette Electric Cooperative has sponsored the Government-in-Action Youth Tour for co-op youths. Often called the trip of a lifetime, Youth Tour brings local students up close to monuments, museums, art and historical sites in and around Washington D.C., and provides a firsthand look at how our federal government works with visits to the U.S. Capitol and with congressional representatives.
Students, you could:
-
Win a FREE trip to Washington, D.C.
-
Meet 1,600 student leaders from across the country.
-
Talk with your representatives and senators.
-
Make lifetime friendships.
To be eligible for the contest, students must:
- Be high school age, in the 10th, 11th or 12th grade
- Reside in the home of a parent or legal guardian who is a FULL TIME resident within Fayette Electric’s service territory and has an active FEC account
- No handwritten entries will be accepted
Children, siblings and grandchildren of employees and directors of Fayette Electric Cooperative, Inc. are not eligible to participate in the contest.
The deadline for applications has passed.

To All 2022 FEC Youth Tour Applicants:
Recently, due to a surge in coronavirus cases, it is now a requirement for anyone over the age of 12 to show proof of vaccination to enter many of the venues in the D.C. area. There are also new restrictions on access to many of the venues that are part of the weeklong trip. Preparation for Youth Tour requires months of planning, and decisions often need to be made well in advance. Fayette EC is currently working with state and national Youth Tour stakeholders to evaluate the situation and make decisions that are in the best interest of our members. The situation remains fluid, and we will continue to provide updates as new information becomes available.
