Memphis Challenge was founded in 1989 by Joseph “Pitt” Hyde. Our mission is to coach high-achieving students of color through leadership and professional development. We are committed to ensuring that this city’s most talented students achieve academically, grow as leaders, and bring their education, expertise, and connections back to Memphis, TN.
Memphis Challenge provides students with a foundation for a future of confidence, preparedness, and personal success. Our student community is one of goal-oriented and aspiring leaders from across Shelby County, and our programming covers soft-skill topics necessary for an enhanced world view. Also, our service projects encourage creativity and collaboration, resulting in lasting learning experiences.
As Juan Carlos Alvarado-Arguello (MC Class of 2018) stated, “With the resources and experiences Memphis Challenge has offered me, I will be able to succeed no matter where life takes me.”
There is no cost associated with participation in the Memphis Challenge program. We are a 501c3 nonprofit organization, and we are funded by corporate partners, grants, and contributions from our board, alumni, and friends.
In order to be a Challenger in Good Standing with the program, students are asked to attend monthly workshops from September through April. There are also optional programming experiences available throughout the year, such as the Tell Me A Story Service Project Series.
