Each summer Randolph EMC joins other cooperatives around the nation to choose 1,600 of our nation’s brightest students to participate in the annual Youth Tour. From June 17-23, these student representatives will converge on Washington, D.C., to learn about American history, meet their members of Congress and explore the electric cooperative business model. 

This year Randolph EMC awarded the honor to Colton Freeman, a tenth-grader at North Moore High School. Colton and his family are members living in Eagle Springs, N.C. Colton’s outstanding school and community involvement, stellar academic record and sports achievement made him an excellent choice for this enriching experience. We look forward to introducing you to Colton further in the months to come, and we congratulate him on being our 2023 Youth Tourist.

You can learn more about the Youth Tour here.
