$5,000 Goal

While giving teens the skills they need to become future leaders and peacemakers, we perform service projects throughout Tarrant County. We not only touch the lives of the participants, their families, and our volunteers, we touch the lives of many less fortunate in our community through Mission Arlington, Tarrant Area Food Bank, Clayton Youth Enrichment, Arlington Life Shelter, Project Transformation and Prairie Paws Animal Shelter. This is truly a life-changing experience for everyone involved.


Mission

The mission of the Ulster Project is to help young, Christian-based potential leaders from Northern Ireland and the United States to become peacemakers by providing a safe environment in which to learn skills needed to unite people when differences divide them.

Needs

Financial support is needed to fund a three week schedule of activities and events for the training of the teens involved in the Ulster Project. Our workers are a 100% volunteer basis who donate time and energy to make the Project work year long. Their efforts need the financial support from the community to maintain the existence of the Ulster Project Arlington.

Equity Statement

We consider diversity a strength. The aim of UPATX is to provide an affirming and culturally responsive program that, through exposure and education, empowers local and international teenagers to navigate differences, create unity, and cultivate unlikely friendships. Through intentional listening and team building, we foster understanding, especially regarding religion and national origin. We build future leaders who are equipped to shape a diverse, inclusive, and empathically minded world. We are committed to engaging our hearts and minds to recognize and challenge our biases, with a pledge to continuous learning and growth. Through routine examination of our programs, practices, and policies, we identify ways UPATX is possibly colluding with racism, religious intolerance, and other forms of discrimination.
