Our mission is to engage young adults in purposeful leadership and ministry, support children in holistic development, and connect churches with communities.

HOW IT WORKS

College students are recruited, hired and trained to invest in the lives of underserved children while living in community, exploring their calling, and developing as servant leaders.

Children from low-income neighborhoods improve their literacy, social-emotional, and spiritual development through participating in high-quality, out-of-school time programs led by college-age young adults.

Churches in underserved communities host our out-of-school time programs, reconnecting and building relationships with their neighbors. Partner churches support that work through Profit, People and Prayers.

In the summer of 2019, Project Transformation will launch in the Capital district.

This is a great way to learn how to better anchor your church in your neighborhood and how you can support this important ministry.
