The members of the Macomb County Circle of Change would like to have every student in the area be able to experience at least one Challenge Day during middle school and at least one during high school. However, due to funding and logistical constraints at this time, we are working to bring one or two Challenge Day events per year to each high school and middle school in the county. The Challenge Day program is so powerful that the school environment is transformed for the better even when "only" 100 or 200 students at the school experience it. Those students who DO experience it are empowered to change the school, and they are given the tools to effect those changes.

Each school can set its own criteria for student selection. Our local organization encourages selecting a broad and disparate group of students, and including the natural "leaders" in the school, without judging whether those leaders are "positive" or "negative" role models. We believe that the more cliques and groups that are included in the Challenge Day, the more powerful and effective the experience is for everyone involved.
