Service Challenges
What are Service Challenges?
Service Challenges are service or philanthropy-based competitions for all affiliated institutions to participate in! These challenges are designed to foster collaboration, competition, and community impact for our virtual environment. If you have questions about service-based challenges, feel free to contact our Associate Director for NRHH at pa_adnrhh@nacurh.org!Â
FreeRice Challenge
FreeRice is an educational trivia game that helps you get smarter while making a difference for people around the world! For every question you answer correctly, you raise 10 grains of rice for the World Food Programme (WFP) to support its work, saving and changing lives around the world!
How does it work?
Private sponsors match the rice grain donations generated within FreeRice, triggering a financial payment to WFP. This money goes into the pot of "greatest needs" to support the organization's ongoing emergencies. 100% of all funds generated via Freerice go to the WFP. Freerice does not earn or keep any money it raises.
Now, it's time for some competition! Create an account, join our challenge group on FreeRice, using the code CQSJ8PBE! Afterward, you can start earning grains of rice, and every month, we will update our leaderboard here! If you would like to contribute to your institutional leaderboard count, please remember to change your username to "Username | Institution"
Coloring Book Challenge
If you are artistic and want to help contribute to a fun gift that can be given to children in underprivileged communities, you can sign up to create a coloring page, crossword puzzle, or other activity showcasing your school, mascot(s), the region, NACURH, or NRHH - examples below!
How does it work?
Once we have enough coloring pages, it will be compiled into a full coloring book (8.5 x 5.5in)! Once a coloring book is made, we will call on institutions to help us print and bind the book, attach crayons to it, and send it out to children to inspire them to pursue higher education when they grow up!
