Teen Pact: 2011

This February, teenagers will converge at the Colorado State Capitol for TeenPact 2011. TeenPact is an intensive, week-long course challenging students to apply biblical worldview in the political arena, as they build leadership skills, debate bills, interview lobbyists, and interact with like-minded peers. This course is more than a dry civics textbook. It is a hands-on experience, striving to instill the desire to be a courageous citizen and seek justice for others in every area of life. Students leave this class equipped with the resources to change lives to change the world. 

Understanding the government process is important for young people in order to have a greater impact on their community, state, and world. TeenPact strives to prepare students in this understanding before they reach voting age. Currently, they are in 38 states, hosting Four-Day and One-Day Classes. The TeenPact Four-Day Class is open to students 13-19 years old, February 21-24, and the One-Day Class is open to students 8-12 years old, February 25, 2011. Both classes, plus a Public Speaking Class for 13- 19 years old, are held near the Capitol in Denver, Colorado. When you register at www.teenpact.com, your group can receive a $20 discount with 10 or more first time Four-Day students registering together.

If you would be interested in a presentation about TeenPact for your group, contact colorado@teenpact.com or call 970-768-7419 to set a time. The Colorado TeenPact team is also available to demonstrate a mock TeenPact class for a co-op or activity day. Attached is a flier to distribute among your group if you would like. Below are prices and times for each class mentioned above.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to working with you and your group.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Cable

Colorado TeenPact State Coordinator
