Past Tours

Two students from South Sumter High School, Lilly Brogan and Jayley Lewis, represented SECO Energy at this year’s Electric Cooperative Youth Tour in Washington, D.C. Nearly 100,000 student delegates nationwide came together to represent their local electric cooperative community, and state, to explore our nation’s capital, learn about the cooperative business model, and gain leadership experience.

Selected for their academic excellence, community involvement, and leadership potential, Jayley and Lilly stood out in a competitive video essay contest after attending the 2025 Tallahassee Youth Tour. Along with their fellow Youth Tour delegates, they toured iconic landmarks and engaged with lawmakers, including representatives from Senator Rick Scott’s office. These meetings offered firsthand insight into how cooperatives advocate for their members at the federal level.
