Cobb EMC is accepting applications now for the Cobb EMC Youth Leadership Program.

The program offers current high school juniors the opportunity to develop leadership and networking skills, to earn scholarships and to learn about their electric cooperative.

Program participants will interview for the one of four spots on the Washington Youth Tour, an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington in June 2019, where they will join student leaders from across the nation, meet with elected representatives and learn about U.S. history, government and careers in public service. Cobb EMC’s top four winners will also receive either a $1,500, $1,000 or one of two $500 scholarships and will interview for one paid summer internship with the company.

Applicants must live in a primary residence served by Cobb EMC. The application deadline in Oct. 11. For more information, visit cobbemc.com/youthtour.
