We chose the number 16 for a few reasons. The first, we knew our core focus would be on teenagers and 16 is a sweet spot with teens. Hence why society makes such a big deal celebrating the Sweet 16.
However, the most important reason why 16 is so important is because it is the number of descriptives used in 1 Corinthians 13:4 when Paul was breaks down what love is and is not. Love (is):
Our founder wanted the core of every activity, every meetup, every volunteer, and every interaction, to be centered in [God’s] love so when you see Project 16 you are really seeing Project “Love.”
There is no cost associated with being a part of Project 16 for any of our teens or their families. We are fortunate to have incredible donors and sponsors who generously support our mission, enabling us to provide all our programs and experiences completely free of charge. This ensures that every teenager in need has equal access to our life skills training, exposure opportunities, and mental health therapy sessions, regardless of their financial situation. We are deeply grateful for the support of our donors and sponsors, as they play a vital role in making our work possible and impacting the lives of minority youth in our community.
