Mission

Rooted in a commitment to equity and justice, we focus on historically marginalized and underserved communities, working to dismantle barriers created by poverty, community violence, and systemic racism. By fostering resilience, opportunity, community collaboration and systemic change, we strive to create a future where all individuals can thrive with dignity, purpose, and the support they deserve. 

Project URGE, Inc. is a catalyst for transformation, advocating for and empowering individuals, families, and at-risk, vulnerable, and justice-involved youth. Through leadership and workforce development, mobile case management, and life-readiness skills, we equip those we serve with th tolls to break cycles of hardship and build pathways to susscess.

Project URGE Then…

Our intention was to bring the Christian community together, not just in speech, but also in action and in truth (1 John 3:17,18). One church often doesn't know what other churches are doing.  The same is true with both Faith Based Organizations (FBO’s) and Community Based Organizations (CBO’s). Many suburban churches have little or no connection to the urban environment. Through our extensive experience with volunteering in urban ministry, it became clear that a more comprehensive and collaborative approach was needed if real change was to occur. Class and race have divided the church, like society, which is an affront to God. We have been persistent in our pursuit of making connections and collaborating with FBO’s, CBO’s and churches in the community since March of 2002.

Project URGE Now….

Project URGE and it’s ministry teams works collaboratively with partner organizations, churches and communities that are committed to resolving issues of poverty, community violence, systemic issues and race, and living out 1 John 3:18 — "Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth." 

Church & community partnering to create positive change

The time is NOW! We must act with a sense of URGEncy to create the change we so desperately need in our communities, systems and our youth. If we are not a part of the solution, we are part of the problem. Join in the fight with Project URGE
