What is a Truly Amazing Resource Race?


This annual event is one of our LARGEST Youth Council activities and has become a favorite of youth, volunteers, board and staff! It’s really lots of fun (and takes an army of volunteers and supports).

Just like the TV show, teams must decipher clues and then go to stops where they are required to perform various tasks. Here’s where the twist comes in! All of the tasks in our RACE is designed to help the youth we serve fill in life skills and learning gaps that are common to this vulnerable population. The RACE makes learning these life skills fun. It’s a whole day of learning without opening a single book! Come cheer on the racers at the Finish-Line Party at Quaker Steak and Lube for a celebration and (late) lunch!
The resilient young people we serve have faced many of life’s most difficult challenges and in many cases have been distracted or not had the opportunity to engage in important activities to learn how life works.  Our Truly Amazing Resource Race takes teams through all kinds of activities designed to help fill in some of the missing pieces in a fun way.
