Transforming urban America through education and policy reform
EMPOWERING CHILDREN
“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own.
And you know what you know. You are the [one] who'll decide where to go.”
– Dr. Seuss
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.
--Sociologist Margaret Meade
Welcome to our online community
Project Reflect is a mid-sized, nonprofit, non-denominational Christian organization. We are chartered for educational purposes. As you navigate this site, we hope you will celebrate with us the lives of the children that you see -- gifted, talented, and learning the hidden rules that will enable them to succeed in life. Please note our volunteer and donation information. These are opportunities to get involved in a way that fits your lifestyle and to partner with us to save every child.
