A Note to Parents
If your son or daughter has expressed an interest in attending the Orlando Project, you may have several questions. This page is meant to provide some basic answers. If possible, I encourage you to attend your campus' parent information meeting for more specific information.
Feel free to contact any of our staff if you have further questions.

What is unique about the Orlando Project?
1. Your child will have the opportunity to move to another city for the summer and work a full-time job with one of the world's best companies.
2. Your child will be challenged to grow in all areas of life and character. They will be with 80-100 other college students who are seeking to live a Christ-centered life.
3. Your child will build Biblical convictions that will affect their relationship with God and others for the rest of their lives. They will be trained in Bible study and relational evangelism.
4. Your child will meet and work with people from all over the world, which will be an invaluable experience.
"And Jesus said to them, 'Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.'"
Mark 1:17
