The Scenario:

Giving back to the world community is something that is increasingly relevant for today’s progressive organizations. This fast-paced adventure race combines touch screen and GPS technology with interactive team initiatives, while uniting team members as they work towards a common goal.

Participants will be playing it forward with the purpose of raising funds for Kiva - the world's first person-to-person micro-lending website. Kiva empowers individuals to lend directly to unique entrepreneurs in the developing world. Visit www.kiva.org for more information.

The Program:

• Each team chooses an entrepreneur to raise funds for
• Teams must use problem solving and team work skills to find a series of locations - points are awarded to teams that can provide the most creative group photos at each of these places
• Premium locations are worth more points and will require the team to complete a challenge together
• To succeed, teams must utilize GPS navigation, decipher cryptic clues or identify a place based on a photograph - all using tablet technology
• Groups will be given resources (GPS, tablets with cameras, etc.), instruction and planning time to develop their strategy
• This innovative scavenger hunt will put these strategies to the test as groups must use their team skills to maximize their lending potential for their entrepreneur

Program Outcomes:

• Elevating team spirit and morale
• Developing effective team relationships
• Encouraging social responsibility by giving back to the global community in a tangible way
