Our connections to our communities starts with our connections to our youth.  Adams is very proud of our youth and works hard to provide these young people with opportunities that promote leadership and excellence throughout our communities.  It’s time once again to focus on Youth to Washington – the program Adams Telephone Co-Operative co-sponsors with Adams Electric Cooperative and the Association of Illinois Electric Cooperatives for area high school sophomores and juniors.  Through this program, students learn more about our local and national government and also the importance of cooperatives.  Eligible youth can apply for Youth Day in Springfield, where they meet with legislators, tour the city, and interview for the week-long, all-expense paid trip to Washington, D.C..  While there, winners will join youth from across the nation to meet with government officials, sightsee, and realize the important role cooperatives play in our country.
