(Clarkesville)- Habersham EMC is now accepting applications for the 2024 Washington Youth Tour. Motivated high school students from Georgia, representing electric membership cooperatives (EMCs), answered a call to leadership on the 2023 Washington Youth Tour last June.
The journey proved to be a lifetime adventure for the students, who joined more than 1,500 other delegates representing EMCs from 44 states. Habersham EMC again this year will send two rising high school seniors on the all-expense-paid 2024 Washington Youth Tour.
The 2024 tour will be June 14-21.
To qualify, applicants must be a high school junior at least 16 years of age and the primary residence of parents or guardians must be within the counties HEMC serves. Interested students may download an entry form from the HEMC website: www.habershamemc.com/community/washingtonyouthtour; visit your school counselor’s office for a form; or pick up an entry form from the HEMC office in Clarkesville or Cleveland.
Completed forms must be returned to HEMC by January 31.
