Alton, Mo. – TeenPact Leadership Schools registration is going to open for all fifty states at noon on Tuesday, September 1, 2020, and they are welcoming all homeschoolers.
Who can Attend
TeenPact is open for all homeschooled teenagers. TeenPact inspires the youth in their relationship with Jesus Christ, trains them to understand the political process, value their liberty, defend the Christian faith, and engage the culture around them. [1] There is also a one day class for children ages 8-12. There is also another week-long class for ages 13-19. These classes are non-denominational, just Bible driven.
Where are They Held
The classes are held at each state’s capitol building with the classes lasting five days each, from January to May. The students will also be able to tour their state capitol and practice mock legislature. When in session, these teens can also meet their elected officials and watch them conduct business at the Capitol.
In Missouri, classes meet in Jefferson City from March 1-5, 2021.
Along with the state classes, there are other events, called alumni events, which are held roughly every month from May to October. Some of the classes are held at campuses or at hotels depending on what state it is.
Dress Code/Homework
When you attend a state class or alumni event, there will be homework. There will also be business dress codes for the students to follow. If you want to learn about their dress code, go here.
History of TeenPact
TeenPact Leadership Schools was founded in 1994 in Georgia by Tim Echols. The next year, he brought the very good students to “staff” the event and that led to the staffing and intern program TeenPact now has. TeenPact began to add other states as they grew. Now in 2020, they have all fifty states in TeenPact. Although adults are definitely present throughout the day, it is teens who conduct the classes.
