The Act Challenge is a national 90-day virtual event that raises awareness about the issue of human trafficking.
Participants walk, run, bike, swim, or paddle as they compete in monthly challenges.
The Act Challenge is free to join and open to all ages and abilities. Participants can join individually or as a team.
Human trafficking is the second-largest criminal industry in the world.
Over 800,000 people are trafficked against their will across international borders each year. For those who escape, many are left with the scarring aftermath of trauma and addiction from being treated like a commodity.
Worthwhile is a 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to reaching and serving survivors of human trafficking. Through our free comprehensive programs, we work to give survivors a sense of belonging, value and independence. When people first discover the story behind Worthwhile their initial reaction is to ACT. We invite you to join us in taking ACTion in the 2025 National Act Challenge. For every mile you log in the Act Challenge, you help raise awareness about human trafficking and funds for our programs.
