Creating a world where everyone feels safe, loved and celebrated.What is Challenge Day? More than just an anti-bullying workshop, Challenge Day is a breakthrough experience that can shift the school culture in just one day. Imagine enemies finding common ground and creating peace; friends healing past hurts and making amends; students and adults coming together to create safer schools and inspiring each other to be the change. In 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. For millions of teens, bullying, violence, and emotional trauma and alienation are part of a typical school day. These problems reduce learning, increase discipline problems and suspensions, and can result in physical harm and even death. Challenge Day's powerful, hands-on workshops for middle and high school students, teachers, and parents help overcome differences and build kinder and more inclusive school communities. In her 2006 episode about Challenge Day, Oprah Winfrey said, "I'm not kidding when I say this is how we change the world." Challenge Day for Adults and BusinessesWe believe everyone should experience inspiration and connection. We also offer Challenge Day programs to businesses, communities, couples, families and individuals. Imagine families deepening relationships, co-workers connecting and creating meaningful teamwork, communities uniting and celebrating their differences and individuals igniting their greater sense of purpose.
