THOUGHTS FROM PAST YOUTH TOUR DELEGATES

Youth COOPERATIVE

“

Washington, D.C. is filled with so much history that you can’t help but appreciate the vision that our forefathers had for this country. The U.S. has come a long way in its development and Washington is the place where it all began.

“

After participating in this trip, I have a better understanding of how our government and nation functions. I’m more determined than ever to serve my community, state and country to the best of my ability.

”

”

“

Exploring D.C. was wonderful! The teambuilding and leadership activities allowed me to make 110 new friends and contacts for life.

“ “

Washington Youth Tour helped me realize the importance of quality leadership skills.

” ”

Soak in every minute, it’s an amazing opportunity. There’s time to sleep next week.
