What is meant by challenge by choice?
Every participant has a different level of comfort with “perceived risk”; everyone has different likes and dislikes. Although we encourage participants to challenge what they can and cannot do – participants are never stretched beyond their comfort level. To support this, Youth University operates under the policy of Challenge by Choice. Challenge by Choice means that individuals choose their level of challenge. This means that individuals may not buy out of an activity entirely but rather that they are encouraged to find a role that will fit within their comfort zone.
