  • providing speakers and workshop leaders for colleges, congregations, youth events, and other gatherings
  • placing Solidarity Workers in other countries and cultures
  • offering a variety of engaging print and web-based resources

Justice or Just Us

Tools for building a fairer world for people everywhere. Resources on sweatshops, consumption patterns, Fair Trade Coffee, girls' education - and lots more!

Care for Creation

Living responsibly with God's earth. Facts about our abuse of the planet along with ever-popular programs like Drive the Car Fast , If a Tree Falls ..., and It's as Easy as 1-2-3...4-5-6-7

Learning Tours

Been to a rainforest lately? The Arctic? Honduras? Visits to places where God's people or God's creation are at risk.

Just for Youth

Changing the world -- and yourself. It ain't easy being a young person in the world's most powerful, most consuming nation. We'll help you figure it out.

Young Adults

Finding your voice on behalf of God's earth and God's people. Opportunities to sharpen your skills and put your faith into practice.

Creative Arts

Dramas, readings, worship resources that challenge and entertain -- for youth or the not-so-young.

About the upside down logo: From space there is no up or down to Planet Earth. When drawing the maps, the US and Europe are on top because . . . we draw the maps. The New Community Project believes it is time to begin looking at our world and its people in a new way -- not from above, but from beside or even below, after the example and teachings of Jesus. The early church was accused of "turning the world upside down" (Acts 17:6) for its radical way of doing things. It's time for people to begin saying that about us!
