About The Challenge
The Challenge Network is a fast-growing social enterprise that connects and inspires people across Britain to strengthen their local communities. The Challenge brings together sixteen year olds from across the country to build their confidence and challenge them to make a difference. This is achieved by completing an intensive three-week summer training programme, followed by team projects carried out in the community over several weekends in the autumn; this includes:
-
The Personal Challenge: Socially mixed teams of young people bond through a week of challenging outdoor activities
-
The Team Challenge: Teams use their skills to experience serving the local community
-
The Real Challenge: Teams work to design and organise activities that will bring the local community together
Our goal is to turn The Challenge into a national programme in which all 16 year olds want to be involved. To learn more, visit www.the-challenge.org.
