The Challenge Days are powerful, high-energy programs in which youth and adult participants are guided through a series of experiential learning processes. The program's overall goals are to increase personal power and self-esteem, shift dangerous peer pressure to positive peer support, and eliminate the acceptability of teasing, violence, and all forms of oppression. The Challenge Day program is designed to unite the school community members and empower them to carry the program's themes back to the school population. Challenge Days also successfully addresses violence, teasing, social oppression, racism, harassment, conflict management, suicide, peer pressure, alcohol, and drugs. We are pleased to be able to bring Challenge Days to Jackson County middle school youth! 

 Since 1987, the Challenge Day Program has touched the lives of over half a million teens and adults nationwide. The Challenge Day Program has received numerous awards from the juvenile justice system, government officials, and many school districts and cities nationwide. We have offered Challenge Days to middle school youth for many years in Jackson.
