For over 60 years, the electric cooperatives of Illinois have allowed tomorrow’s leaders to learn from today’s public officials. EnerStar is on the hunt for two outstanding students to represent our cooperative at the Youth Day in Springfield and the Youth Tour to Washington! The Association of Illinois Cooperatives (AIEC) coordinates the events.
Youth Day in Springfield - March or April 2025 (TBD)
Get a firsthand look at democracy in action! Along with 300 outstanding students from across Illinois, meet your elected representatives during the Illinois Electric Cooperative Youth Day at the State Capitol and tour our state capital's important sites.
Youth to Washington - June 14-21, 2024
EnerStar's student representatives will travel by charter bus for an all-expenses-paid, week-long tour of Washington, D.C. During this trip, they will create lasting memories while visiting essential sites, including Gettysburg, George Washington's Mt. Vernon, the Smithsonian museums, Arlington Cemetery, and more!
