Chain Links Clubs
IMPORTANT NOTE: Starting the school year of 2009-2010, Rachel's Challenge is transitioning all middle schools from the Friends of Rachel (FOR) Club to the Chain Links Club. Middle school students deserve their own unique club that focuses on what students of their age are dealing with. So, if you see FOR terminology on this website, especially in the video on the Chain Links Club homepage, please note that Rachel's Challenge is referring to your Chain Links Club.
Thanks for your understanding.
The Chain Links Club is just one of the many benefits of having Rachel’s Challenge in your school. This unique program provides the opportunity for your school to partner with Rachel’s Challenge to continue the chain reaction of kindness and compassion in your school and community. The main goal of the Chain Links Club is to help create a permanent cultural change in your school. Rachel's Challenge wishes you the best of luck in creating a more welcoming campus. We are confident the chain reaction of kindness and compassion will continue for many years to come and we thank you for your support. |
