Challenge Day

Challenge Day is a non-profit organization committed to creating a world where every child feels safe, loved and celebrated. Award winning day long experiential workshops and fellowship programs are designed to show what’s possible by tearing down the walls of separation, inspiring participants to create an environment of compassion, acceptance and respect. The program increases self-esteem, helps shift dangerous peer pressure to positive peer support and reduces the acceptability of teasing, oppression and all forms of violence. The goal of the program is to eliminate social oppression at is roots by replacing ignorance and fear with knowledge, compassion and love. The youth and communities are inspired to make changes they wish to see in the world, and challenge others to do the same. This project costs Junior Auxiliary about $5,900 for every school we bring it to and serves 80 to 100 middle schools to high school aged teens.
