What are the Teen Eagles?
History of Teen Eagles
The program was started in 1997 in the St. Louis, Missouri West County area. It took students who had completed, or who were in the process of taking, a worldview course for high school home-schooled students at the Pillar Foundation.
The purpose of teen eagles is to take high school students who have
had some basic training in worldviews (or give them that training) and
provide an opportunity to develop their leadership skills and
experience by becoming involved in civic activities and the political
process.
Young people with conservative Judeo-Christian values need to be knowledgeable, independent thinkers in order to face today's social and political environment and be ready for positions of leadership in their families, churches and communities. Too often our young people go into the college and university world as lambs to the slaughter, quite unable to handle the full-scale frontal attack on their value system and their faith.
To be prepared, they must...
- Understand the basis and application of their Christian world view.
- Understand the basis and nature of humanism (in all its forms) in order to know why and how our society is breaking down, and to be wise in knowing what must be done to reverse this devastating trend
- Develop familiarity, experience, and leadership ability in working within the political process, influencing the course of civil government.
