What IS Youth Tour?

More than 1,500 students from all across America take part in the Youth
Tour experience each year, and so can you! Travel to Washington, D.C.
where you will meet your U.S. Representatives and Senators. This unique
trip will give you the opportunity to watch history come alive as you ex-
plore the museums, memorials and monuments with students from your
state. Bottom line, you will make friendships that will last a lifetime and
be part of a group that has more than 50,000 alumni in every walk of life
including U.S. Senators and CEOs.
