Welcome to the Summer Challenge!
What's it about?
The Summer Challenge is 3-week programme
which includes:
- Outdoor Challenge to enjoy summer activities
- Community Challenge to volunteer in charities
- Business Challenge to gain employment skills
Each week we will have life coaches and mentors providing self-development workshops as part of the programme.
The Experience!
We aim to provide a balance of fun and hard-work throughout the programme!
If completed successfully, participants will be invited to a graduation ceremony and will receive a certificate of achievement signed and presented by the Chief Minister of Gibraltar.
