TEEN CHALLENGE

Teen Challenge is the oldest, largest and most successful program of its kind in the world. Established in 1958 by David Wilkinson, Teen Challenge has grown more than 150 centers in the United States and 250 centers world-wide. Teen Challenge offers a number of services to the community, many times free of charge. For over 40 years, Teen Challenge has been going into schools, working with teens to educate them to the dangers of drugs. Teen Challenge reaches out to people in juvenile halls, jails and prisons to show there is hope for them to turn their lives around.
In Manchester, NH, they offer a one-year residential program for adults designed to help men to learn how to live drug-free lives. During their one-year stay, they do not hold down outside jobs, as all of their attention is focused on the program. The residents follow strict rules and discipline. All residents adhere to a daily schedule which includes chapel, Bible classes and work assignments on or near the grounds. The residents are challenged to embrace the Christian faith and when they do, their lives are transformed and they find meaning and purpose. Teen Challenge claims an 80% success rate in changing lives for Christ.
