2025 YOUTH TOUR
We are currently accepting applications for our 2025 Youth Tour. The competition is open to any high school junior who lives or goes to school in one of the eight counties served by Dixie.
The 2025 Montgomery Youth Tour will be held March 11-13. It will boast the participation of approximately 150 high school students representing 17 cooperatives from around the state. Students will enjoy activities such as participating in leadership sessions, taking part in several team-building activities, meeting with Legislators, and touring The Legacy Museum, the Alabama State House, the Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church, and the Alabama Capitol. Tour sites may vary.
Following the Montgomery Youth Tour, four of the eight students will be selected to continue on to represent the cooperative on the Washington Youth Tour. Those four representatives will also be awarded a $3,000 scholarship.
The 2025 Youth Tour Packet and Application are available at www.dixie.coop/youth-tour. If you would like more information about this competition, you can contact our youth tour coordinator by e-mail at pr@dixie.coop, or phone at 334-387-1534.
