Challengers began in 1968, with a man whose concern led him to take kids off of the street and out of trouble.
Challengers is dedicated to the physical, emotional and moral well being of youth.
It offers a broad range of activities and programs, which emphasize good citizenship, educational enrichment, development of social skills, and strong values. By reaching children at an early stage in their development and encouraging them to explore positive, diverse activities and to develop their individual talents, we can help them grow into responsible young adults. In addition, Challengers seeks to involve the community in its efforts through club fundraising and social events, with particular emphasis on parental involvement. With the support of dedicated, generous donors and concerned citizens in the community, Challengers has grown from a 22,000 square feet building to a 52,000 square feet state of the art building that will serve over 5,000 youth in the new millennium.
