Any 16-17 year old high school junior who is the dependent of a subscriber who receives landline telephone or broadband services from Triangle Communications is eligible to apply. Applications are available online from the Triangle Communications web page. Interested individuals can click on the Community Tab.

In addition to requesting basic contact information, the online application asks four essay-style questions: 1) Explain your educational goals, 2) Explain your career goals, 3) How important is Broadband Internet access to you? What do you use it for? What speed do you need? Would you use it as a television service? 4) Please provide a brief explanation of why you would like to be chosen as Triangle’s representative on the Youth Tour.
