Congratulations to Bible Way Temple Nation, Glory Chapel International Cathedral, House of Praise and Worship, House of Restoration Church and South Congregational Church, who were recently awarded grant funding through Next Generation, an Urban Alliance initiative that helps children and youth achieve academic success, develop character, and receive support through healthy relationships by collaboratively increasing the impact of local in- and out-of-school programs.
Grant funding will provide financial scholarships for more than 50 middle- and high-school youth to attend The Hartford Project (THP) this summer, where they will have the opportunity build knowledge and skills, grow in their faith, serve the community, and develop long-term relational support.
THP is an urban-ministry service-learning experience that brings together hundreds of youth for four days during the summer and provides opportunities for youth to connect with each other and serve throughout the year.
Collaborative efforts through Urban Alliance help increase youth involvement in THP, assist in program and organizational development, and provide enhanced and enriched learning experiences through program evaluation and the fostering of relationships.
