Back to DC was our very first alumni program in TeenPact. We use this trip to teach students about life on Capitol Hill, introduce them to conservative leaders and expose them to campaign technology. This is a fast-paced, week-long experience where you’ll see Washington as never before!
TeenPact Back to DC will take you onto Capitol Hill and through the halls of power as you brush shoulders with great leaders, visit historical landmarks and learn how to make your own impact. We’ll also participate in FRCAction’s Values Voter Summit where we will hear from nationally-acclaimed conservative speakers.
But why stop there? We’ll partner with the conservative Leadership Institute to bring you top-notch training in political philosophy, activism and campaigning. You’ll use these tools to run an energetic mock Presidential campaign.
Add these things to our legendary monument tour and daily worship on the rooftop with scores of like-minded friends and you’ve got an experience that could only happen at TeenPact.
Anyone who has attended Back to DC can tell you that this experience is a highlight among TeenPact events. Mark your calendar and plan on joining us in our nation’s capitol!
