What is Project Transformation?

Mission: to transform communities by engaging children, college-age young adults, and churches in purposeful relationships.

Vision: We envision a world that is rooted in love; pursues the equity of all people, and amplifies God’s call on every life.

· This year is the 25th anniversary of Project Transformation. Within North Texas, PT involves:

o 11 site churches

o 135 PT members, providing after-school and summer programs

o Annually serves 1,200 children and youth, in grades 1-12

o 90 partner churches

o 2,000 volunteers

· Benefits and successes of the program:

o 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.

o Churches in these communities host the out-of-school time programs, reconnecting and building relationships with their neighbors.

o 95% of children and youth maintain or improve their reading levels over the summer.

o 92% of young adult alumni say that PTO prepared them for future leadership in the church or community.

Our Church has committed to providing volunteers for the Bookworm Buddy Program. This involves:

§ Provide 6-10 volunteers each day July 10-13 (Monday-Thursday).

§ Times: 9:30 am-Noon

§ Location: Chapel Hill UMC, 12701 Templeton Trail, Farmers Branch
