Thomas Peters and Jayden Mosley, both Beloit Turner High School students, recently represented Rock Energy on the 2024 NRECA Electric Cooperative Youth Tour to Washington, D.C. They gathered with students from co-ops across the nation June 15-23 as they met with congressional representatives, toured historic sites, and learned about the cooperative business model.
Pictured above are the Rock Energy youth members who attended the 2024 Youth Tour - Jayden Mosley (left) and Thomas Peters - outside the Capitol Building.
One of the highlights of the trip came on Thursday, June 20, when they traveled to the White House and met with legislative staff and legislators, including Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisconsin).
They wrapped up the event on Friday, June 21, with a trip to the Lincoln Memorial, Holocaust Museum, and Arlington Cemetery for a wreath-laying ceremony. They ended the day with a dinner and dance boat cruise along with youth reps from Colorado, Michigan, New Mexico, Washington and Wyoming.
The all-expenses paid trip includes transportation, lodging, meals, and admission fees to all events. NOTE: Youth tour participants must be children of a Rock Energy member and reside in the co-op’s service territory.
