Washington Youth Tour

The Washington Youth Tour is an annual, all-expenses-paid leadership program sponsored by Central Georgia Electric Membership Corporation (CGEMC).

It offers high school students a unique opportunity to explore Washington, D.C., engage with national leaders, and connect with peers from across the country.

Explore Washington, D.C. on the Trip of a Lifetime—All Expenses Paid!

Each year, Central Georgia EMC selects two high school students to represent our area on the Washington Youth Tour—a weeklong leadership trip to Washington, D.C. You’ll join over 1,500 students from across the country and more than 100 from Georgia to:

Visit famous memorials and museums
Meet members of Congress and state leaders
Discover powerful leadership lessons from American history
Make lifelong friends from all over the U.S.
Learn about the spirit of teamwork that built our nation

And yes—it’s completely free, thanks to Central Georgia EMC!
