Kingdom Sponsors June Washington D.C. Youth Tour

This year Kingdom will join the Foundation for Rural Service (FRS) in their Youth Tour to Washington, D.C. Each year, the FRS brings 100 high-school students from rural America together for an exciting and educational experience in our nation’s capital. Kingdom will sponsor two students, age 16 or 17 at the time of the tour, on this all-expense paid trip. Paula Barnett, Administrative Assistant, will accompany the two Kingdom-sponsored students. Highlights include tours of Arlington National Cemetery, the Smithsonian Museums, National Cathedral, National Zoo, U.S. Capital, FDR Memorial, Jefferson Memorial and a dinner cruise on the Potomac River to Mt. Vernon. The trip will take place from June 5-9. The winners will each receive $100 spending money to enjoy on their trip.

To be eligible for consideration, the student’s parent or guardian must be a shareholder of KTC stock and have service with Kingdom Telephone Co. The student must complete an application and return it with two letters of recommendation, postmarked no later than March 12. The final candidates will be interviewed by two members of the Board of Directors and two KTC managers.

The children and grandchildren of KTC and KTIS staff, board members, former employees and former board members are not eligible to participate.

Application forms may be downloaded at this link. You may also call our business office or check with your high-school counselor.
