I just wanted to thank you for our envelope full of Nittany Tips cards. I use the
cards as discussion starters for my class. They love to collect the cards. It is a
great way to catch their interest. Many of the Tips tie into a unit that our school
counselor teaches. Thanks again for providing a great resource.

Challenge Program
During the ten one-week sessions of residence, Challenge Program participants
work on setting behavioral and academic goals as well as deciding on community
service projects for the upcoming school year. Collegiate counselors, professional
staff, and volunteers promote a positive environment and offer encouragement
that allows youngsters to work on areas such as developing better self-awareness
and learning to understand others. During the 2008 residential weeks, Challenge
Program staff encouraged 760 youngsters to believe that I Can, We Can, the
theme of this years program.
continued next page
The Challenge Program experience does not end when a young person finishes
his or her residential week. The Second Mile staff provides additional support to
participants, their families, and their counselors through written, phone, or inperson contact. During the 2007-2008 school year, Second Mile staff made more
than 9,200 contacts to participants and more than 4,800 contacts to their school
counselors to help them stay connected to the program and focused on their
goals. Additionally, 772 participants and their family members attended
30 mid-year events.

Challenge Program participants, with the support of The Second Mile staff and
their school counselors, work hard throughout the school year to meet their goals
and thereby earn return trips to residential weeks the following year. As a result
of this hard work, school counselors nominated 480 youngsters who attended
residential weeks in 2007 for achievement certificates. Additionally, 80 youngsters
were singled out by their counselors for giving back to their communities and
received community service certificates.
Friend Fitness
The Friend Fitness Program focuses on helping adolescents achieve personal,
academic, and fitness goals through mentoring and individualized strength
training exercises. With sites located in Clinton County, Chester County, and
the Centre Region, the Friend Fitness Program provided opportunities for
improvement to 141 teens in 2008. During twice-weekly sessions, 93 adult
mentors assisted students in working on their goals. Additionally, there were 11
social and team-building activities such as picnics, group workouts, and luncheons
held for students and mentors.

The Friend Program pairs elementary students with college students who act as their
mentors while they participate in healthy and educational activities together. During the
past year, 597 Young Friends from across the Commonwealth participated in the Friend
Program at six sites: Blair County, Centre Region, Clinton County, Lancaster County,
Lehigh Valley, and the Southeast Region. College Friends from Penn State University
Park, Penn State Altoona, Millersville, Lock Haven, and Villanova Universities as well as
from Cedar Crest and Muhlenberg Colleges acted as mentors and friends to their younger
counterparts. Fifty-one activities were held, including Health Adventures Days, Science
and Technology Days, and Award Picnics. Additionally, 686 volunteers, both adult and
student, assisted with these events.
Community-Based Programs
Childrens Scholarship FundGrants, Recognition, and Scholarships
The Childrens Fund offers support in three ways: by providing grants, scholarships,
and community service awards to youth across the Commonwealth. Assisting with
financial needs outside of the coverage of other agencies or government programs,
Childrens Fund Grants help young people (ages birth to 18) afford such items as
clothing, school supplies, and extra-curricular activity registration fees. Over the
past year, Childrens Fund Grants were given to 65 young people, and hundreds of
additional children received non-monetary grants through the distribution of in-kind
donations, such as clothing. Post-Secondary Scholarships are available to former
Second Mile participants to assist with school-related expenses. Last year, The Second
Mile awarded 47 such scholarships. Additionally, 71 high school seniors graduating
