DC Munchie Cooperative - Quality Snacks at an Affordable Price!

Youth Tour is many (MANY!!) things including an opportunity to see all kinds of sites in DC,  a chance to meet with our elected officials, occasions for students to network with others from all over the country and the ability to walk away with a greater understanding of our role as an American citizen.

Did you know that Iowa Youth Tour offers students the chance to be hands on when it comes to running a cooperative? Iowa Youth Tour forms and runs our very own cooperative, which will provide drinks (other than water – H20 is readily available and free for the students!) and snacks for our Youth Tour participants. This project is educational and practical and accomplishes two things. First, it provides drinks/snacks at discount prices (everything in Washington is so expensive) and it teaches everyone about starting and operating a cooperative and being a co-op “member owner.”

Our co-op is very similar to your electric or other local member-owned cooperatives. The main difference is that our co-op will provide pop, Gatorade and snacks for the co-op members (us) – while we are on the trip.

If you are one of the fortunate ones going on this year’s trip, get involved in YOUR cooperative! Watching from afar? Check out our social media platforms and follow us!
