Description of Program:
Teen Challenge is the oldest, largest and most successful program of its kind in the world. Established in 1958 by David Wilkerson, Teen Challenge has grown to more than 170 centers in the United States and 250 centers world-wide. If you would like to know the story of how Teen Challenge started as told in the book "The Cross and the Switchblade," visit our store page where you can order a copy of the book.

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 around the world working with teens to educate them about the dangers of drugs. Our school teams consist of 8-10 Teen Challenge residents and a staff member. These are men and women who once had problems with drugs, so they know what they are talking about when they talk to teens. For younger children we have a puppet show that we use to educate them in a way that they can easily understand. Our presentations usually run from 45 minutes to an hour in length. Any school or Boy/Girl Scout troop that is interested in scheduling a visit should contact the nearest Teen Challenge center.
