For schools participating in Challenge Day, TeenTalkers will draw food-related puns on lunch bags for each youth and adult participant. No two bags are alike.

Challenge Day

Since March 2010, we have been thrilled to coordinate Challenge Day events at two Clark County high schools each year. Selected schools come together for these eclectic, life-changing events to challenge youth and adults to step out of their comfort zones and share their truth.
 
Challenge Day is a global program that gives participants tools to explore how people separate from each other—and how to change the culture to one of acceptance and inclusion.
​
In 2018, we hosted Challenge Day at Battle Ground and Ridgefield high schools.
