TeenPact

TeenPact Leadership Schools seeks to inspire youth in their relationship with Christ, train them to understand the political process, value their liberty, defend the Christian faith, and engage in the culture at a time in their lives when, typically, they do not care about such things. As of 2021, TeenPact offers State Classes to Students in all 50 states. TeenPact believes in the capacity of young people to lead. They don't need to be old enough to vote to impact the government, their community, or the world. TeenPact trains teens to embrace their call as the next generation of leaders by giving them the tools, teaching, and opportunities to do so. TeenPact believes that students learn best by doing. The Four Day Class (for 13-19 year olds) is fast-paced, designed to give students the ultimate, hands-on, crash course in state government. Not only do students learn about the basics of state government, they also learn more about their spiritual capacity as young people. Aspiring young leaders move up through the organization, eventually directing the program. Thus, teen leadership has become the secret ingredient to the TeenPact program. Upon graduating from a TeenPact Four Day class, students qualify for a variety of Alumni Events that further encourage them to seek leadership opportunities in their own communities and to deepen relationships with like-minded individuals. TeenPact is a debt-free, 501(c)3 non-profit organization, managed by a Board of Directors and CEO Peter Martin, who manages the overall operations. With the Lord's faithfulness, TeenPact's vision of "Changing Lives to Change the World" will continue to shape the next generation of Christian leaders.
