The TLG Challenge Goal
To work as a team and utilize your community resources to creatively design and implement a youth-focused solution that drives positive change to a critical community issue.
The 2021 TLG® Challenge Question:
What efforts can youth lead to address social inequities that have become more prominent during COVID-19?
Please select at least one of the following key issue areas...
1) Racial Inequity
2) Inequities in overall health (including access to physical and mental health care)
3) Educational Inequity
About the Challenge: The CYL Think Like a Genius® Challenge invites youth programs and organizations to assemble teams of young leaders between the ages of 14 and 19 to work as a team and utilize your community resources to creatively design and implement a youth-focused solution that drives positive change to a critical community issue.
During this 7-week innovation challenge competition, youth teams and their adult leaders compete to develop and implement the most creative and effective solution to a critical community issue. At the end of the 7 weeks, the teams have the opportunity to present their solutions to a panel of community members and be awarded monetary prizes and the opportunity to become project mentors for local non-profits for the continuation of their project design.
This brainstorming challenge competition is presented by Colorado Young Leaders.
