We will provide funding and mentors to help you on your way to being a positive force in your local area, as well as gaining invaluable skills, such as project planning.
The Challenge Society has some amazing independent opportunities with external partners or within The Challenge Network
Apply to become an Associate Mentor. Associate Mentors are Graduates who come back and help us out next summer. They work with summer staff and use their knowledge and experience of the programme to support and mentor new Challengers. This is a great chance for you to continue to develop teamwork and leadership skills. This is also an amazing opportunity to gain valuable experience that will help you to progress to fully paid Challenge staff in the future.
I really enjoyed being part of the staff team and having that extra layer of responsibility…I will definitely be applying for the paid role next year. Comfort Nwabia, Senior Associate Mentor (2011), Associate Mentor (2010), and Challenge Graduate (2009)

'If it wasn’t for the Challenge’s Distinction Award I would not have been so determined to find my own placement to complete my voluntary hours… It goes by quick without noticing, so the Challenge Distinction is a must as it leads you into all different walks of life.'
