If know a current high school sophomore or junior who’s looking for something cool and green to do this summer, advise them to apply for this all-expenses-paid Youth Summit sponsored by the American Public Transportation Association. APTA campers will travel to Washington, DC June 26-30 to join peers from across the country and explore how partnering with public transportation can promote better communities and a healthier environment.
While touring the nation’s capital, the youth will meet lawmakers and congressional leaders, participate in hands-on transit tours, and explore career paths in the transit industry.
Applications for the youth summit are due April 22 and can be downloaded here.
