TeenPact

An eight-year-old who has never spoken in front of anyone before. Standing at the front of a room with 50 people. Describing his bedroom in 60 seconds. Using hand motions to emphasize how huge his bed is.

A TeenPact public speaking lesson.

Government is like a baby sitter. A babysitter is instituted by Mom. Government is instituted by God.

A TeenPact civics lesson.

“For the purpose of this bill goose shall mean any bird with a long neck that goes honk and hunter shall mean any person with a long stick that goes bang.”

A TeenPact bill.

“What do you believe is the role of government?”

“What is your definition of justice?”

Questions with which TeenPact students stump State Representatives.

A circle of people in the Governor’s office. Half of whom are under 12 years old. Taking turns praying for the Governor and his family.

They move to the House of Representatives. Praying for the men and women who serve there.

A TeenPact prayer walk.

Changing lives to change America.

What TeenPact is all about.

    I’m glad TeenPact exists to get people interested in government and their country. I certainly wasn’t interested in these things in high school.

    TeenPact sounds like a wonderful opportunity. Something I may be interested in…
