Earlier this month, Canoochee EMC’s Joe Sikes encouraged all CHS juniors to enter this year’s Washington Youth Tour Competition!
Damonae Wharton, one of last year's Washington Youth Tour winners and the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) representative for WHOLE state of Georgia for the Youth Leadership Council, also encouraged the Class of 2025 to pursue this AWESOME opportunity!
