Our Teen Program is the largest teen-run homeschool conference program in the country.  The teen portion of this conference is planned by our Teen Conference Committee.  Each year, this group of teens, works with our Teen Program Coordinator to plan and execute all of the events within the teen program. The Teen Conference Committee does everything from choosing workshops, to putting on dances and night events.

Meeting monthly for most of the year, this hardworking group makes sure that the teens will have an amazing time at the conference!

TCC 2012:

Some changes have been made to how TCC operates this year in order to streamline and improve the entire planning process.  A core steering committee made up of experienced teens who have previously volunteered has been established.  They have started to get the ball rolling on conference activity planning.  

Although we are not going to be taking new people on this core steering committee at this time, we've developed other opportunities for teens to participate in the planning process and to gain experience for consideration on next year's committee.  

There will be upcoming meetings open to new volunteers to work on specific activities and projects, and there will also be quite a few opportunities for teens to gain volunteer experience at the conference itself.  

If you have questions, please contact:
