The resolution honors the TeenPact Leadership Schools organization for its significant contributions to youth education and leadership development in Texas. Founded in 1993 by Tim Echols, TeenPact began with a small group of students learning about the political process at the Georgia State Capitol and has since expanded to serve over 5,000 students in Texas alone. The organization offers various programs, including single-day classes and four-day courses on state government, which provide students aged 8 to 19 with opportunities to engage with elected officials, participate in mock legislative sessions, and enhance their public speaking and critical thinking skills.
The Texas House of Representatives recognizes TeenPact's innovative educational initiatives that empower young Texans to become informed and engaged citizens. The resolution expresses appreciation for the organization's efforts in inspiring future leaders and extends best wishes for its continued success. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared as a token of high regard from the Texas House of Representatives.
