Youth Tour is an annual leadership program sponsored by Butler Rural Electric Cooperative and Ohio’s Electric Cooperatives. It’s a weeklong trip to Washington, D.C., that gives exceptional high school students the opportunity to meet with congressional leaders at the U.S. Capitol, make new friends from across the country, and see many of the famous Washington, D.C., sights.
Addison Sloan is the daughter of Erin Simpson-Sloan and Phil Sloan and is a sophomore at Edgewood High School. Addison’s favorite extracurricular activity in high school is playing for Edgewood High School women’s soccer team. Her favorite activities outside of school include all of her 4-H activities such as Carteens, serving on the junior fair board, being a clover leader, and serving as a 4-H camp counselor. Addison works at Just Farmin’ in St. Clair, Ohio, which is a family-owned farm that grows organic produce such as lettuce, microgreens, and edible flowers. She volunteers at St. Matthew Lutheran Church to maintain their landscaping and placed flags and wreaths on veteran graves within our local cemeteries. After high school, Addison plans to study agricultural and resource law because she is interested in environmental sustainability, food systems, and public policy.
