Cooperative Youth Day applications still open

Do you have a rising sophomore or junior who is interested in history, government, and the political world? We encourage them to apply for our Cooperative Youth Day on Thursday, October 23.

Students get the chance to tour the Ohio Statehouse and Ohio History Center, visit with state legislators, network with other students from across Ohio, and more! There is space available for up to 35 students, with preference given to children of current LMRE members.

Cooperative Youth Day is a first step in LMRE's youth engagement initiative, aimed at educating students about the cooperative business model. Those who attend Youth Day have the opportunity to learn more about Ohio's Electric Cooperatives' annual Youth Tour trip to Washington, D.C., as well.

Applications are available now through September 19.
