We teach young people how to organize their own Positive Tracks Challenge – An athletic event designed to champion a cause or organization of their choosing. We call it “Sweating For Good®”.
For example: Charlie and Olivia, lead a workout Challenge called “Move for the Movement” to encourage their classmates to learn more about racial justice and support the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.
If you’re age 12 – 25, you’ll first apply online to start a Positive Tracks Challenge. Once the application is processed, you’ll become a Challenge Captain and be paired with your Positive Tracks Coach. This person will work with you online to guide you through the process of creating your Challenge.
As a Challenge Captain, Positive Tracks will help you choose what physical activity you’ll do at your event and what organization or local charity you want to support based on your interests. We’ll also help you understand where that support or any fundraising may go. We’ll teach you how to address critical pieces of activism like root cause. We’re also here for logistical planning, fundraising ideas, and ways to promote your event to get the most community involvement.
The bottom line is, we’ve got your back every step of the way because we believe that young people can change the world and that physical activity is the best way to unify your team.
Most importantly, as a Challenge Captain you’ll learn how to take action, all while developing leadership skills that will last a lifetime. And that’s important to us because we’re an organization built by youth for youth. And that means you.
Our programming is completely free, and zero prior experience is required.
