ABOUT THE CHALLENGE

The Ignite Louisville Challenge is the service-learning component of the program which pairs Ignite Louisville teams with a local nonprofit to execute a project. In return, Ignite Louisville participants gain experience in community leadership, board involvement, and teamwork. At the end of the program year, the teams present their projects to a panel of esteemed leaders who choose a winner.

Since its inception in 2004, Ignite Louisville participants have worked on over 170 projects for area nonprofits to plan, execute and sustain new strategies for success.

In July 2013, the Ignite Louisville Challenge received a national award for “Excellence in Innovation” from the Association of Leadership Programs.
