Pick A Goal
You really can do whatever you want for the challenge – and you don’t have to finish by April 9, some of our participants are going to be doing things that take a while, like commit to exercising three times a week for at least six months, or trying the 100 mile diet for a year. Think about crazy ideas you’ve had, or old New Year’s resolutions, habits you want to break or build…
Here are some ideas to get your creative juices flowing:

If you can’t think of anything, try our 10 Person Challenge and get at least 10 people to donate money, time, an in-kind gift, or even have them just learn more about our work. See? Easy.

Sign Up
There are three ways to sign up:

Setup My Site
It’s easy. Just use our online tool. It will ask you a couple of questions, and then show you a preview which you can edit or add to. It’s a lot like Evite, myspace, or facebook. You can even upload pictures.

Find Sponsors
Three ways to do this:

Track Your Progress
This is the fun part! You can document your campaign however you see fit, whether through pictures, video, blog entries, etc. The more creative the better!
For instance, if your campaign is to quit smoking, you could have a set of “Before” pictures, showing you huffin’ and puffin’ your way up a flight of stairs, and a set of “After” pictures, showing off your triumphant, easy-breathing, tobacco-free new self.
![]() Before |
![]() After |
Pictures in-between could be shots of your last smoke, empty cig boxes, farewells to your favorite smoke shops, blog entries documenting your cravings, whatever sounds the most expressive to you!

It doesn’t even need to be something you can upload to your website. In fact, the more variety the better, especially as we look towards our special campaign event in May. During this celebration, we’ll kick back, have plenty of food and drinks, and show some highlights from different participants’ campaigns. Your own photos, stories, and other documentation could be on display (with your permission, of course) so that all the other participants and friends of ATC can see how far you came towards your goal!
In addition, remember to:
Come to our launch party on January 30th, and start your campaign on this day!
On March 5th, we’ll have a check-in/motivation get together

Timeline
January 30th - April 9th
Signup deadline is January 20th
You don't have to complete your goal during these ten weeks, just start it.

Time Commitment
We want your participation to be quick and fun. How much time you take to achieve your goal will vary, but the process for the campaign should be pretty fixed.
It will take about an hour or two to get signed up and set up your webpage, an hour to contact your friends via email, and another hour along the way to send out updates or progress reports.
That’s about 2-3 hours total, not including attending the optional (but really fun!) campaign get-togethers.

I'm nervous about asking my friends for money.
Don't be! Almost everyone donates somewhere. You’re not asking anyone to do something that they wouldn’t do otherwise. You’re just giving them a cool place to support.

What’s in it for you?

Your impact on homeless youth
Money raised for ATC translates into lives changed. It’s really that simple.
Educating others about ATC and our work creates awareness, and awareness creates compassion and understanding for our clients.
To learn more about your impact, read more on the contribute page of our main site.

Understanding our philosophy
When we work with our clients, we don’t tell them what to do. We ask what matters most, and help them achieve those goals.
Rather than telling you what to do, we want you to choose whatever excites you, and we will help make that happen.
