The goal of Challenge Day is to help stop the teasing, alienation and lack of empathy that
is so deeply a part of the school experience for millions of young people every day. Through
a variety of games, trust-building activities and presentations, you will be given a unique
opportunity to see yourself and the people around you through a new set of eyes.
Since 1987, the nationwide Challenge Day programs have helped to transform the lives of
thousands of teenagers just like you. Challenge Day has not only received
numerous awards, but has also been featured in the best-selling book, Chicken Soup for
the Teenage Soul and the Emmy Award-winning documentary, Teen Files: Surviving High
School. As a young leader from your community, you can be part of this positive change!
Space is limited, so sign up today! Before turning in the Permission Slip, check your
calendar and classes to make sure you are free to attend on March 11th. Participants will be
signed up on a first come, first served basis. You must be prepared to arrive on time and
stay for the entire program in order to participate.

Challenge Days are powerful, high-energy programs in which youth and adult participants are
guided through a series of experiential learning processes. The overall goals of the program are
to increase personal power and self-esteem, to shift dangerous peer pressure to positive peer
support and to eliminate the acceptability of teasing, violence and all forms of oppression.
Challenge Day programs are designed to unite the members of the school and/or community and to
empower them to carry the themes of the program back to the greater school population. Challenge
Days successfully address the issues of violence, teasing, social oppression, racism, harassment,
conflict management, peer pressure, alcohol and drugs.
