"If we settle for tolerance, we have failed. Our goal is love." - Yvonne and Rich Dutra-St. John, founders of Challenge Day

Motivated by memories of their own teen experiences and fueled as parents working for positive change, Yvonne and Rich Dutra-St. John created the Challenge Day program in 1987. Since then, Challenge Day has inspired and brought hope to over a million teens and adults across the United States, Canada, the Netherlands, Australia, Germany, Japan and the Czech Republic.

Challenge Day provides experiential workshops and programs that demonstrate the possibility of love and connection through the celebration of diversity, truth and full expression. Its signature program, "Challenge Day," is a powerful one-day workshop for students in grades 7-12 designed to build connection and empathy and to spark a movement of compassion and positive change, the "Be the Change Movement." Challenge Day inspires and challenges participants to be the change and create the school and world of their dreams.

The organization's award-winning programs have been featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show, MTV's "If You Really Knew Me," USA Network's "Tom Brokaw Bridging The Divide," the Emmy Award winning "Teen files: Surviving High School," and the Canadian Blue Ribbon Award-winning "The Bully Solution." Challenge Day is in its third season of being the subject of the Dutch documentary series called "Over de Streep" (Cross the Line). The founders' book, BE THE HERO You've Been Waiting For, has inspired thousands of readers and has been the basis for countless classroom and family discussions.

Challenge Day is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization with a $2.8M budget headquartered in Concord, California. The organization accomplishes its work with a dedicated team of 14 staff, 25 Challenge Day leaders, 14 board members and hundreds of volunteers.
