Partnering with Project Transformation to host programming for children can help re-anchor your congregation in your neighborhood.

Through this partnership, site churches are empowered to better cultivate two key traits of discipleship: radical hospitality and active listening.

Site churches are trained each year in best practices for leveraging the program by one another and Project Transformation. First and foremost, church members and staff are able to display radical hospitality as they greet children and their families, lead chapel services during programming each week, invite families to worship, and plan and attend Family Fun Night events with the young adults. Beyond this, the site church also enters, with more resources, a relationship of active listening in order to better learn and understand the community’s needs and assets.

Churches in or near high-need areas.

Project Transformation’s faith-based Summer of Service Experience for young adults offers hands-on opportunities to build mutually enriching relationships with children in low socioeconomic areas, live in intentional community, and explore various careers in ministry and service.
Committing to Project Transformation Rio Texas is more than accepting a summer job, it is embracing a transformational experience. The expectations are great, but the potential for personal rewards that come from this kind of commitment are even greater. While much is expected of each intern, much is given in return—love from the kids, fun and support from living in community, and the energy created by exploring your personal potential to impact the world around you.

Applicants must have completed one year of college or be at least 19 years old, and must have the legal right to work in the U.S.

Are you up for this? PT is for you if:

• You are a highly motivated self-starter
• You believe in the power of diversity and open-mindedness
• You love God and neighbor above all else
• You believe in hearing others' stories, owning your own story, and living beyond comfort zones
• You believe in the silliness of childhood, creativity, smiles, and that "they are all our children."
• Applicants apply online. A professional resume and contact information for 3 references are required for application completion.

Program consist of training, CPR Classes and 8 weeks of Day Camp.

Compensation: $3,300 potential earnings.

Texas is home to about 3.6 million white-tailed deer, with South Texas holding the largest population in the United States. This expanding population has detrimental effects on the abundance and diversity of vegetation and wildlife. In an effort to re-balance the ecosystem and avoid further loss of biodiversity, large deer culling is issued. The venison from these culling has the ability to feed thousands of individuals through the Hunters for the Hungry program.

Through the program, hunters can drop off legally tagged, field-dressed deer with participating meat processors. The partner processors prepare the venison for distribution through local food banks.

Hunters, here’s how you can help:

1. Bring your legally tagged, field-dressed deer to a participating meat processor. There is no cost to you!
2. When you purchase your Texas hunting license, choose the option to donate to Hunters for the Hungry. Your donation supports meat processing fees.

Processors, here’s how you can help:
