San Isabel Electric is looking for four high school students to send on a life-changing trip to visit either Washington, D.C., or explore the mountains near Steamboat Springs, Colorado.

The trips — Washington D.C. Youth Tour and Cooperative Youth Leadership Camp — are two separate, weeklong, all-expenses-paid trips. They are an excellent opportunity to meet new people, spend time in beautiful locations, and gain valuable leadership skills.

“I learned that electric cooperatives have an impact beyond providing electricity. Youth Tour is a great example of how SIEA supports its communities,” said Cadence Doering. She and Haley Douglas represented SIEA on the 2025 Youth Tour in June. And thanks to SIEA, Jacklyn Rogers and Holly N. traveled to Steamboat Springs in July to participate in Leadership Camp.
