Hey, youth movers & shakers!

Good news! Mote has joined forces with a national organization called Positive Tracks that helps youth ages 23 and under sweat for good through the Positive Tracks U23 Challenges Program. Not only does Positive Tracks amp what you’re doing by matching the dollars you raise for Mote, but they’re way fired up to help you captain your own U23 Challenge with hands on help from a super friendly person named Liz Gray. Liz can help you build your team; set up a fundraising page; help you train for the physical challenge; spread what you’re doing far and wide; and trouble-shoot event planning right down to a “day of checklist” so you don’t forget the duct tape. Captains are also paired with a Positive Tracks Peer Coach who’s done a U23 Challenge – a nice perk that keeps it fun and helps us meet you on your own terms and turf.

Other awesomeness: Positive Tracks doubles every dollar delivered by team members (age 23 & under) up to $23. Plus, Team Captains (up to two per team) dollars are doubled up to $230! Icing on the cake for U23 Challenge Captains: Positive Tracks send you a Positive Tracks t-shirt and banner.
