H.R. No. 321

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The national TeenPact Leadership Schools
	organization has rendered exceptional service to youth across
	Texas; and
	WHEREAS, TeenPact traces its history to 1993, when founder
	Tim Echols first shared his idea for a program that would bring
	young people to the Georgia State Capitol to learn about the
	political process; 18 students met there for the organization's
	first class in 1994, and the following year, they served as peer
	mentors for the next cohort of students; the organization
	eventually expanded to serve all 50 states, and in Texas, more than
	5,000 students have participated in its classes over the past
	decade; and
	WHEREAS, Today, TeenPact offers a number of opportunities for
	leadership training to students ages 8 to 19; the organization
	features single-day classes for young students and their families
	as well as four-day courses on state government that take place at
	each state's capitol, and it also hosts workshops on political
	communication and alumni events; in Texas, TeenPact's involvement
	in the legislature has provided invaluable opportunities for
	students to interact with elected officials, participate in mock
	legislative sessions, and develop skills in public speaking and
	critical thinking; and
	WHEREAS, TeenPact's innovative educational programs have
	empowered countless young Texans to become informed and engaged
	citizens, and it is a pleasure to join in recognizing the
	organization for its efforts to inspire future generations of
	leaders; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
	Legislature hereby honor TeenPact Leadership Schools for its
	service to Texas youth and extend to all those associated with the
	organization sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for the organization as an expression of high regard by the
	Texas House of Representatives.
