About Project Transformation National
The epicenter of the most dynamic youth development and young adult ministry discernment
program in the nation – Project Transformation National (PTN) – is located in Dallas, TX
with offices at University Park UMC. PTN provides young adults yearning for purpose a
structured, vocational discernment and leadership training program. Project Transformation
National is an outgrowth of Project Transformation North Texas, also founded in Dallas, and
was established in 2015 to build on its success with engaging young adults, marginalized
children and churches in a mission of developing literacy and social-emotional skills,
connecting communities and transforming lives.
From inception, Project Transformation has trained college age young adults to lead an eightweek summer literacy program for K-12 low income students. The program, hosted by innercity United Methodist churches, is aligned with three strategic objectives of the United
Methodist Church to further the faith – revitalizing urban churches through increased
congregation-community connections, engaging young people in vocational discernment, and
ministering in partnership with underserved populations - and speaks directly to values held
dear by young adults.
PTN exists to further the expansion of Project Transformation chapters across the nation, to
develop young adult program leaders and to steward the mission of transforming lives of
young adults and the children and communities they serve. Today, Project Transformation
operates chapters in Central Texas, Indiana, North Georgia, North Texas, Oklahoma, the
Pacific Northwest, South Texas, Tennessee, and Washington DC. Last year, Project
Transformation chapters provided programming for over 370 young adults and over 3,100
children annually in over 40 host churches and communities- an increase of 92% in young
adults engaged in ministry since the inception of PTN four years ago.
