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

Last Call for Teen Pact


Last week to Register!
TeenPact Colorado meets March 8-12, 2010

Final Registration Deadline
February 22nd, 2010

TeenPact teaches TEENS they can have an imPACT in American
government even while too young to vote. Spending a week at the
Colorado State Capitol, students not only learn about the basics of state
government but also gain a biblical understanding of their responsibility
as citizens: to vote and to pray effectively. During the week of classes
March 8-12, students learn to find their way around the capitol, know
where to find bills and how to read them, study and enjoy parliamentary
debate, run for a mock office during the week, and meet public officials.
TeenPact's goal is to instill the skills and passion necessary to impact
the nation for Jesus Christ.

If you live too far from Denver to commute daily, grab a friend, share a
hotel suite, or meet someone new! Contact Jodi for hotel information at
clapper@centurytel.net. For details about meals, homework help, or
any other questions, you are always welcome to contact Michelle
Warren, Colorado State Coordinator, at colorado@teenpact.com.

TEENPACT COLORADO, MARCH 8-11, 2010


What is TeenPact? TeenPact is a comprehensive leadership program for both teens and children at the state capitol that brings kids closer to Jesus Christ, makes them better leaders, and positions them to impact public policy in their state. During the week, students meet important officials, interact with other like-minded students, and have more fun at the capitol than they could have imagined.

Students leave inspired and challenged with an intense desire to change America for Christ. TeenPact staff will grade and return pre-class homework the week of classes. Students receive a certificate for 1/3 Carnegie Unit in State Politics and Government. If you know any homeschool, enrichment, church, or other group that would be willing to give our Student Ambassadors 5 minutes to promote TeenPact, we would appreciate any contacts. If you have any additional questions or would like to be a part of the Colorado State Coordinator Team, please email: Michelle Warren at colorado@teenpact.com or Marsha Brower ladyoftheboomerang@comcast.net
