Project Transformation Tennessee Inc

Mission Statement

Project Transformation Tennessee’s mission is to transform communities by engaging children, college-age young adults and churches in purposeful relationships.

What inspires our mission is what we call Project Transformation’s “three C’s.”
• Children: Our summer and afterschool programs serve children who live in under-resourced neighborhoods by providing literacy and holistic programming to engage the mind, body and spirit.
• College-age Young Adults: Planning and leading these programs are our college-age young adult interns, who serve as mentors and role models to our children. All the while, they are developing as principled Christian leaders and exploring various ministry-related vocations.
• Churches: We partner strategically with churches in changing neighborhoods to provide safe spaces to cement new relationships that invest both in our young people and our community.

PENCIL Foundation

Mission Statement

PENCIL’s mission is linking community resources to Nashville public schools to help young people achieve academic success and prepare for life. We envision a world where access and opportunities are equitable for all students to have a successful future. While PENCIL programs serve all Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) students, they are of particular benefit to students who lack the financial means and schools that lack the community resources.

At One WillCo, we believe that school should be a welcoming place for every child, regardless of their race or ethnicity. That’s why we educate our community about the challenges underrepresented populations face, advocate for actionable solutions, and unite community members who align with our mission.
