Participants will represent their schools and their communities in a day of fun, leadership and empowerment

The goal of Challenge Day is to help stop the teasing, violence and alienation that are unfortunate parts of the school experience for millions of young people every day. Through a variety of games, trust-building activities and presentations, participants will see themselves and the people around them through a new set of eyes.
