What We do
I Challenge Myself (ICM) uses fitness-based challenges that allow youth in low-income communities to develop physically, academically and socially.
ICM expects that youth who successfully complete their programs:
View challenges as opportunities to learn and grow
Experience the value of goal-setting, discipline, hard work and teamwork
Incorporate fitness and healthy eating as a lifestyle
Recognize that learning extends beyond the classroom
Transfer their newly acquired skills and experiences to lead healthy, happy and productive lives
