Range, in conjunction with the Foundation for Rural Service, is again sponsoring a contest for high school juniors to win what has been referred to as a “trip of a lifetime”.

One high school student will be selected to receive an all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C. to participate in the Foundation for Rural Service Youth Tour, June 3 – 7, 2024. To enter the contest, students must write a short essay that is no more than 250 words or no more than a 5-minute video, “How broadband impacts daily life in YOUR rural community?”.

Essays must be postmarked no later than March 1, 2024, and mailed to Range, Attn: Youth Tour, PO Box 127, Forsyth, MT 59327 or emailed to youthtour@range.net. For complete details including complete eligibility requirements, visit range.net/youthtour.

The Youth Tour is a chance for students to visit our nation’s capital and learn about rural broadband, share their community’s story with key legislative, regulatory, and government figures as well as a forum for them to meet and interact with their peers from other rural communities.
