The Indiana Youth Tour to Washington, D.C. is a unique chance for students to experience firsthand how government operates, explore iconic historical landmarks, and connect with peers from across the country. It’s an immersive, educational experience that brings classroom lessons to life in real-world settings.

Youth Tour provides students with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to: 

• Explore how government works and dive into the electric utility industry.
• Experience history firsthand with visits to Washington, D.C., and Gettysburg.
• Connect with peers from across the U.S. and build lasting friendships.

Trip Dates: June 14-21, 2026

Trip Highlights:

• Explore D.C. Landmarks: Visit the Lincoln Memorial, the National Mall and the U.S. Capitol.
• Engage with Leaders: Attend meetings on Capitol Hill with Indiana’s congressional delegation.
• Team Building and Networking: Form bonds with other motivated young leaders from across the state. 

Eligibility: Open to high school juniors (fall 2026 seniors), whose parents or guardians are members of Noble REMC. Home-schooled students are also eligible. 

Selection of a youth tour candidate will be based on the candidate's application and their school and community participation. Applicants will also be required to write a short essay (no more than two pages, double-spaced). The topic of the essay will be the importance of community involvement. Noble REMC takes an active role in the communities we serve, so we ask, “Why do you think it’s important for companies and individuals to be involved in their community?”

Don’t miss out on this life-changing opportunity — encourage your students to apply today and experience government, history and leadership in action!

Application: Please check back in early November for information on your next opportunity to apply to the Indiana Youth Tour!
