Students participate in Virtual Youth Experience

YEC representatives Sam Hamilton of Clover High School, Jordan Brown of Fort Mill High School, Alaina Rinkes of Clover High School and Felix Gonzalez of Indian Land High School (pictured left to right), were among 74 high-achieving students in the state that participated in a week-long, part web-conference, part in-person event sponsored by South Carolina’s electric cooperatives in June.

The local teens used their laptops and smartphones to discuss issues of the day with four members of South Carolina’s Congressional delegation—U.S. Representatives James Clyburn and Nancy Mace and U.S. Senators Tim Scott and Lindsey Graham.

The Virtual Youth Experience began last year when the risks of COVID-19 caused cooperative programs like the Rural Electric Youth Tour and the Cooperative Youth Summit to be canceled. The programs allow high school students to learn about electric cooperatives and how their government works.
