Through dynamic experiences, TeenPact seeks to inspire youth in their relationship with Christ and train them to understand the political process, value their liberty, defend the Christian faith, and engage the culture around them. “Changing lives to change the world” is more than a vision statement to us. It’s what we do every day.
At TeenPact, we believe students learn best by doing. That’s why our State Classes are comprised of focused hands-on leadership training. With classes offered across the nation and for students ages 8-19, young people will quickly discover how to embrace their call as the next generation of leaders through the unique tools, teaching, and opportunities TeenPact provides.
Our Alumni Events take students deeper in their relationship with Christ as they build lasting community and grow through intentional leadership training. While events activities range from meeting legislators on Capitol Hill to team building in South Dakota, the focus is the same – training students to be influential and servant-hearted leaders.
Thank you for your interest in applying to staff with TeenPact! Before you start the application process, please ensure that you are familiar with and fulfill all the roles and requirements for our staff positions. (See Staff With Us page).
To complete the application process, each of the following steps must be taken, both for first-time applicants as well as returning staffers. It will be the applicant’s responsibility to ensure that each step is completed in its entirety. All portions of the application process must be completed by June 30, 2024. Applicants will be notified of our decision by August 23, 2024.
This is the first step of the process. Only those who have filled out the online application will be included in applicant communication and updates.
After submitting an online application, first-time applicants are required to ask for three reference letters. One should be from the Program Director, and the other two from Traveling Interns who served on their most recent State Class. The Interns and Program Director will assess the applicant based on their interactions and observations during the Four Day Class, and then send their recommendation directly to the National Office to be added to the applicant’s file. After requesting the letters, there’s no need to follow up with the interns or Program Director.
Note: Those who have staffed previously with TeenPact do not need to request letters of reference.
Below is the contact information for each of the 2024 Program Directors and Interns:

Once you have completed the online application form, we will work with you to set up a 15-minute interview to occur over the phone. Interview scheduling will open up during the State Class season.
All staff interviews will take place over the phone or onsite at NatCon with a member of our interview team. If you have previously staffed with TeenPact, you do not need to interview again.
Changing lives to change the world is a big vision. However, we believe in the audacity of that goal, as we see the Lord’s grace at work both in and through our students, touching a world in need of transformation. TeenPact boldly seeks to inspire young people to reach for a higher standard characterized by humble service and passionate leadership. Applying to staff with us is one of those ways to continue challenging yourself, grow in your capacity, and seek to practice a deeper level of servant leadership. We are grateful for your interest and step of faith!”
This selection process is highly competitive, and not everyone who applies will be invited to join our staff in 2025. However, we want remind our applicants that they are not defined by the outcome. There are numerous opportunities beyond this experience to participate in the Lord’s redemptive plan. Nevertheless, we take pride in offering a program known for its excellence. We believe that through this program, you will be equipped to serve with humility, lead with passion, and most importantly, change the world. – Johnny Leifheit, Director of Staff Development
