Youth Tour Testimonials:
2022 Itasca-Mantrap Youth Tour Delegate Jacob Lof reflecting on his time spent on the Youth Tour, said, “I’m so thankful for the opportunity to visit Washington, D.C.! It’s incredible to see all of the buildings, monuments, and memorials in person. One great part about the trip that I didn’t expect was the people and the relationships I formed there. I met so many great people from everywhere and made some lifelong friends, as well as some lifelong memories. I learned so much about our country, and the electric co-ops like Itasca-Mantrap that keep it running. Thank you, Itasca-Mantrap!”
