Each summer, WallBuilders helps sponsor Patriot Academy to train the leaders of the next generation. For almost a week (August 3-7, 2010), students from across the nation will learn the legislative process on the very floor of the Texas State Capitol, where they will write bills and guide those bills through the legislative process, learn debate and communication techniques, and receive training in Biblical worldview and American constitutional philosophy. If you know of any young people with a desire to be future leaders, we highly encourage you to send them to Patriot Academy! And if you're interested in helping support a student, please consider giving a contribution towards scholarships.

Patriot Academy is a five-day political training program where students age sixteen to twenty-five learn about America's system of government from a Biblical worldview. Each summer, young people from around the nation come to the Texas State Capitol to form a fully functioning mock legislative body, drafting legislation, debating bills and passing laws. Students participate in fast-paced, interactive workshops on media relations, public speaking, campaigning techniques and the founding father's philosophy of government. Current and former elected officials and experts share their personal experience in government and discuss today's most relevant issues. Today, Patriot Academy is the premier conservative political training camp in the nation, training young people to effectively engage in every aspect of government, whether as an elected official or an active citizen. As our students are equipped to effect change for the issues that matter most to them, Patriot Academy is fulfilling its vision to raise up a new generation to lead the change in America.
