The Challenge Series (Flexible Delivery Format)
Our Challenge Series replaces traditional static lessons with 52 micro leadership missions that build confidence, empathy, and collaboration throughout the year. Each mission adapts to your program schedule, whether you are running a summer camp, semester class, or short-term pilot, ensuring that learning and leadership growth never stop.
Students advance through four progressive levels: Foundation, Growth, Leadership, and Impact. Each level deepens their real-world application of social emotional and leadership skills.
Flexible, evidence-based, and designed to meet students where they are.
