How to Earn Points as an Individual and as a Community

How Points Work in the 2026 Community Challenge

Points in the 2026 Community Challenge are designed to reward participation, consistency, and community involvement. There are two main ways points are earned:

Individual Participant Points – earned by individuals through the app and Challenge activities

Community-Wide Points – earned through collective actions that support engagement at the community or school-district level

Both contribute to overall Challenge momentum, but they are tracked and applied differently

Individual Participant Points

Points earned directly by participants
