Pizza Parties and Wisdom


This post was written by TeenPact Student Body Representative Nathan Furlough of Ohio. Of all my experiences in TeenPact, one of my favorites is staffing the one-day class.

True Light


This post was written by TeenPact Student Body Senator Logan Hancock of South Carolina. As a former Florida kid, I’ve spent a fair amount of time at the beach. A few times a year, sections of the beach were roped off to keep people out. Naturally, as a young kid, the best place to play […]
