History

Teen Challenge began in 1958, when a young preacher, named David Wilkerson, was moved with compassion to reach out to young people on the streets of New York.  His story is retold in the bestselling book, The Cross and the Switchblade, which has sold over 15 million copies worldwide.  Since then, Teen Challenge has spread to approximately 1000 centres in over 80 countries around the world.

Teen Challenge Victoria has been providing help for people caught up in drug and alcohol abuse, and other life-controlling problems for over 30 years.  We are an inter-denominational ministry and registered charity that is governed by a Board of directors, including the Executive Director.  As an established Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Service, Teen Challenge Victoria is registered with the Hospitals and Charities Board and the Health Commission of Victoria

Great conditions, enthusiastic players, friendly BBQ lunch, drink cart, awards, raffles, auctions, hard working club members, and dinner with guest speaker Simon Madden  ensured the Charity Golf Day to be a most successful and rewarding day.
