Walton EMC
Washington Youth Tour
You’re probably thinking, “I have been to Washington before.
Why would this trip be any different?” Good question!
Students attending the Youth Tour take advantage of the
relationships Georgia’s EMCs have spent years building with our state and national
leaders. Students will have lunch and one-on-one conversations with Georgia’s
U.S. representatives and senators. They will also have photo ops with the likes
of Governor Nathan Deal and Senator Johnny Isakson.
Of course students will see the sites of Washington, but
certified leadership trainers also sprinkle the week with personal development
and leadership activities. They will enjoy the social and cultural activities
throughout the week, like a Potomac River cruise/dance and seeing a musical at
the Kennedy Center.
Students will meet and develop lifelong friendships with
students just like them--Georgia’s best. Some have decided on a career in
public service and government solely due to their Youth Tour experience. We all know that competition is fierce for
scholarships and other activities your students want to participate in. Having
the Washington Youth Tour on their resume will definitely be to their
advantage.
