YOUTH TOUR 2023 is ON!

Each year, area high school sophomores and juniors whose parents are Nodak members/owners are given the opportunity to be selected to attend an all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C. in June. Students compete by submitting an essay on a specific topic and the top-rated essay writer is sent by Nodak to join 1,500 other students from across the nation to learn about electric cooperatives, American history and U.S. Government. Participants also take part in National Youth Day, visit with North Dakota representatives in the House and Senate, and explore the sights of Washington, D.C.

Nodak Electric Cooperative holds an essay contest for local high school students and select a student to represent
North Dakota in the Youth Tour each year.

  • Call for submissions is sent to area high schools in November.

  • To enter the contest, you must be a sophomore or junior in high school.

  • You and your parents/guardian must be served by Nodak Electric Cooperative.

  • Types of submission allowed: written essay.

  • Submissions are judged by NDAREC Statewide Association; winners are selected in February.

  • The quality of work is more important than quantity.

    • Essay question: If chosen as a Youth Tour delegate, you will be traveling to Washing, D.C. to experience and learn about America’s rich history.  What moment in American history do you wish you had been a part of and what would you have contributed?
