    Where is the Philadelphia Project:

    The Philadelphia Project is located in the Mt Airy
    neighborhood of Philadelphia. Mt Airy is a multi-cultural
    neighborhood that has an equally diverse representation of
    age, ethnicity, economic status, as well as residential and
    commercial buildings. We are located at 13 E. Mt Pleasant
    Ave Philadelphia, PA 19119.

    When will the Philadelphia Project be:

    The Philadelphia Project will host 8 full week mission
    opportunities this summer.

    Why participate:

    At the Project you will have the opportunity to explore your
    understanding of God’s heart for others. You will physically
    offer hope and healing to a community in need, and you will
    daily be challenged to deepen your walk with Christ through
    a time of worship and reflection. The Philadelphia Project
    will offer you a great experience that will assist you in your
    development as a young disciple.

    What should I bring?

    While the Philadelphia Project supplies most of your
    needs for the week, we ask that each participant bring the
    following:  (You can download the packing list under downloads)

    • Water bottle that will be used throughout the work day in order
      to help you stay hydrated.
    • Work gloves. We will have a few pairs of our own, but each
      person having personal gloves will make for a more pleasant
      work experience.
    • Safety glasses or eye protection. Depending on what your task
      is, it may be important that you have appropriate eye wear to
      protect yourself.
    • Closed-toe shoes. You may wear flip-flops at the Project, but not
      while you are on the worksite.
    • We ask that all participants wear modest clothing. Girls: no
      middrifts, or short shorts.
    • Sleeping bags, air mattress, and shower linens.
    • Pillows, Bathing Suits (One Piece), Beach Towel
