About Champion Circle

What is Champion Circle?

Champion Circle is a youth empowerment program designed for young men ages 13–18. Created by the Give A Day Foundation, this program equips participants with essential tools, mentorship, and guidance to help them build a successful and purpose-driven future.

The program begins in June and runs through July, offering a combination of informative workshops and engaging community activities.

Our workshops feature special guest speakers who teach and mentor participants through our five core values. In addition, participants will take part in interactive experiences such as tours of local fire and police departments, team-building activities like law enforcement basketball challenges, the Mind Master Challenge, career exploration adventures, team volunteer projects, and more.

Our 5 Core Values:

Identity Discovery – Understanding who you are and building confidence from within
Career Development – Exploring career paths that lead to long-term success
Health Awareness – Learning the importance of maintaining physical and mental well-being
Financial Literacy – Developing smart money habits and decision-making skills
Volunteerism – Understanding the importance of giving back to the community
