Washington DC Youth Tour

Experience the wonder of Washington.  Learn about cooperatives and our government, tour historical sites, and have fun meeting new friends from Minnesota and other participants from across the nation.  In 2025, Steele-Waseca Cooperative Electric will sponsor an all expense paid trip to Washington D.C., for up to two qualifying candidates.   The tour is coordinated through the Minnesota Rural Electric Association (MREA) and hosted by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA). The SWCE applicants must currently be a high school sophomore or junior and a dependent of a Steele-Waseca member.  Click here for a 2025 application.
