I have read and understand that my application and essay are to be submitted to Ravalli Electric Cooperative no later than December 5th 2025 or I will not be considered for the Youth Tour. I understand that if I am selected to represent Ravalli Electric Co-op and, for some unforeseen reason, I am not able to attend the 2026 Youth Tour, I must notify Ravalli Electric Co-op immediately so that an alternate may make the trip to Washington D.C. Cooperatives may run an applicant’s essay through an AI detection program. Use of AI could prevent the application from being considered.
