American Village Citizenship Trust |
|
The mission of The American Village Citizenship Trust is to strengthen and renew the foundations of American liberty and self-government through citizenship education. Join costumed historical interpreters as a Nation is born and a Constitution is framed. Learn how the words "We the People" have come to include all Americans. Explore the historically-inspired buildings of The American Village, including Washington Hall which is patterned after George Washington's historic Mount Vernon. Stroll the Village's Constitution Green and Southern Living Colonial Gardens. Experience Houdon's masterful statue of Washington, the Alabama Power Voting Experience, the Rising Sun Chair, the President's Oval Office, and other engaging exhibits. The American Village is located about 30 minutes south of Birmingham in Montevallo. |

TeenPact |
|
TeenPact is a comprehensive leadership experience that challenges students to grow both personally and spiritually. During TeenPact, students meet and interact with other Christian young people and leaders from across their state. The first step in the TeenPact Leadership School is the State Capitol Four-Day Class for ages 13-18. Here students learn about the political process and the basics of state government. The students then move onto a behind the scenes look at how their state government works. Workshops focus on the political process, parliamentary procedure, public speaking, and the bill-to-law legislative process. |
