We would like to shout out a huge congratulations to the finalists of the 2026 Youth Tour Contest finalists.  Now the next step is the interviews to be held at our office  in Licking on March 25th.  These students will interview with a panel of our three volunteer judges where they will be scored on:

• Speaking Ability
• Poise
• Volunteers' information beyond scope of question
• Personality
• Appearance

The final scoring on these categories will determine which student from each high school wins the Washington DC trip and who wins the trip to the CYCLE conference in Jefferson City and which student is an alternate.  

Congratulations on all of your hard work.  We are proud of each and every one of those who participate in the contest even those that are not chosen as finalists.
