Washington Youth Tour is a leadership program for students living in households served by NGEMC. This year, Brody Haddock, Ringgold High School graduate, and Emalee Collins, Armuchee High School graduate, attended Washington Youth Tour in June 2024 representing NGEMC. Applications for next year's tour will be open on the co-op's website in October for current high school juniors and seniors.
