Altamaha EMC’s Washington Youth Tour delegates are carefully selected through a rigorous application process. Any junior or senior who attends a high school in the cooperative’s seven-county territory is eligible. School counselors from our seven-county territory nominate students for the Washington Youth Tour. The nominated students are first brought in for a preliminary round of interviews with our Washington Youth Tour coordinator. Candidates will then move on to the final round of interviews in front of a panel of judges from three different electric membership cooperatives in the state. The top three students are then selected by our Washington Youth Tour director and judges to represent Altamaha EMC on the Youth Tour.

 

All high school juniors and seniors interested in the opportunity can obtain information by contacting our Washington Youth Tour Coordinator, Will NeSmith..
