From the Generation Joshua Web site:
Our goal is to ignite a vision in young people to help America return to her Judeo-Christian foundations.
Generation Joshua is a division of the Home School Legal Defense Association.
Generation is primarily aimed at children from 11 to 19 years old, although membership is open to Christians of any age. Some programs may not be available for all ages.
- 2 year individual membership: $35
- 10 year family membership: $200
- Civics Courses: 10 self-paced courses teach teens about government
- GenJ Book Club: Students read one book per month and participate in a moderated online book discussion
- Chats and Forums: Students may participate in discussions moderated by GenJ staff
The best description of the clubs comes direct from the Generation Joshua Web site:
GenJ Clubs consist of a minimum of five (5) GenJ members, meeting once a month to pray for the nation, carry out their civic and community duties, support each other in their civics educational process, communicate truth (spiritual and political), and be ready on short notice to be involved in campaigns for pro-family, conservative candidates.
Members can earn points by completing eight core civics requirements and two electives toward. Prizes include gift certificates and items such as iPods. The top prize is a scholarship to Patrick Henry College plus a trip to Washington D. C.
Each year Generation Joshua hosts a week-long teen camp at a different location in the country. The camp immerses students in conservative politics through lectures and other activities.
