Teen Challenge Works!
It’s a proven fact. Teen Challenge achieves a success rate of 86%, compared to government and secular programs that may reach 5-10%. Add to that the fact that three out of four Teen Challenge students have had drug treatment elsewhere before coming to us – that makes our 86% even more incredible!
Teen Challenge Costs Less
On top of this incredible success rate, at an average of under $70 a day, the Teen Challenge program costs only a fraction of what secular programs cost; some as much as $1,000 a day or more! We save on operational costs because a percentage of our staff is volunteer. And, students help “pay their way” while learning responsibility, new skills and diligence in work study activities.
Lives Reclaimed
Thanks to Generous Friends like You, Precious Lives are being reclaimed everyday through the ministry and programs of Teen Challenge! Thank You for supporting this vital work!
