ABOUT CHALLENGE DAY
For millions of young people, bullying, violence and emotional trauma and alienation are part of a typical school day.  These problems reduce learning, increase behavioral problems and suspensions, and can result in physical harm or sadly, even death.
Challenge Day is a world leader in providing empowering and transformational workshops for teens and adults, focusing in on the solution. Imagine enemies finding common ground and creating peace; friends healing past hurts and making amends; people igniting their passion for service and leadership; adults and youth joining hands to create a world where eveyone feels safe, loved, and celebrated. This is the work of the heart. This is the work of Challenge Day. 
Over the past 30 years, our award winning programs have reached over 1.5 million youth and adults in 2200 schools around the world. Challenge Day is one of the most successful and longest running Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) programs in the world. We also offer Challenge Day programs for businesses, communities, churches, summer camps, sports teams, couples, families and individuals. Imagine families deepening relationships, co-workers connecting and creating meaningful teamwork, communities uniting and celebrating their differences.
Join us for a fun evening of connection and learn how together we can be a part of the solution. Our goal is to raise the funds to bring Challenge Day to 10,000 more underserved students.
