FEATURED CHALLENGE OF THE MONTH

GROW A MOVEMENT USING INSTAGRAM

It’s a lot easier to fight for a young person sacrificially when you’ve seen their face. And it’s a lot easier to fight for a beautiful, hurting community when you’ve read the stories and watched the videos of life there. This challenge powerfully connects 100 individuals with the sights, sounds, and stories of Love Your City and the way it changes people’s lives. How amazing that you can accomplish so much while lying on your bed!

Can you recruit 100 people to follow Boy With a Ball on Instagram and grow the Love Your City movement across the world?

The price of a cup of coffee can change the world

  • Everyone wants to change the world, but few do because real change requires us to do things we wouldn’t normally do.  Can you recruit 100 people to give $10 a month to support local Boy With a Ball teams as they fight for young people across the world? Working in hurting neighborhoods can be overwhelming at times, but this challenge lets these teams know that they are not alone by building a bridge between them and 100 people who are willing to join the fight. This is huge.
