Washington, D.C. Youth Tour

MECA helps its member cooperatives engage with the next generation of co-op members and leaders through the annual Washington, D.C. Youth Tour, an all-expenses-paid leadership travel opportunity for high school sophomores and juniors (going into their junior or senior year this summer). Youth Tour explores leadership lessons from our nation’s history and immerses participants in the cooperative spirit, creating life-long advocates for the co-op program.

Economic Development

Michigan’s electric cooperatives are active partners in enhancing economic prosperity in the communities they serve. Because reliability and electric cost are key to industrial businesses today, our member co-ops are committed to providing timely energy estimates and site selection information.

Co-ops Are Built On Partnership.

Sponsorship supports youth programs, workplace safety initiatives, and employee/director training.
