“Attention! 2008 Update: We are closing state classes 2 weeks before the class this year. So tell your friends and sign up early!
TeenPact is a comprehensive leadership experience that brings kids closer to Jesus Christ, makes them better leaders, and positions them to impact public policy in their state. During TeenPact, students meet important officials, interact with other like-minded students, and have more fun at the capitol than they could have ever imagined. Students leave inspired and challenged with an intensive desire to change America for Christ.
TeenPact offers a program for both teens and children during your state’s legislative session. Students have a devotion, a time of praise and worship, meet important officials, interview lobbyists, view campaign disclosures, improve their public speaking skills, write their own bills, and conduct their own TeenPact legislature. Students analyze public policy from a Biblical Worldview and learn to “take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5).
Other activities include:
- Reading actual bills that are being worked through the Legislature
- Researching how political candidates spend their campaign money
- Writing your own bill and trying to get it passed in the TeenPact Legislature
- Interviewing elected officials and lobbyists in the Capitol
- Watching your real state legislature while in session, and much more”
