Challenge Day

Building Understanding (BUDS)

Challenge Day: East Cobb Middle School, Jan 28-31st

Join Building Understanding in supporting an important annual event at East Cobb Middle School by volunteering as a facilitator or helper on one or more of the dates Challenge Day is held.

Challenge Day shares a number of features with the Everytown and it is a pleasure to support this work for the third year in a row.

Some details follow. Please RSVP by Jan 11th to programs[at]building-understanding.org

Adult Facilitators are crucial for the success of the day. East Cobb Middle School coordinators and Challenge Day staff will meet with all Facilitators for at least 30 minutes prior to the start of the program to let you know what is needed and to answer your questions. In order for the pre-program meeting to begin on time, please arrive at 8:30AM. No prior training is necessary other than the morning check-in meeting. Our Challenge Day staff closely monitors the program and our Leaders will give all instructions throughout the day. This is a full-day experience! You must be able to remain on site and participate fully for the entire program (no cell phones or pagers during the event), including 30 minutes after the program at the end of the day for a post-Challenge Day debriefing. (8:30-5:00)

Would you like to help but you can't stay all day? We also need volunteers for lunch distribution and door monitors.
