Urban Project - Los Angeles

#1995214

At the Urban Project - Los Angeles (UP-LA), staff and students live together in community for two life-changing weeks. Lives, meals, joys, sorrows, laughs, cries, and plenty of late night conversations and hysterics are shared as we seek to learn and to love.

Collegiate student-athletes of all levels will be challenged through the AIA Principles of Competition and The S.P.E.C.I.A.L. to worship God through their sport and their lives as student-athletes and to view competition, as well as their social platform, biblically. By approaching these from a biblical perspective, the Urban Project provides the opportunity for participants to become complete athletes - physically, mentally, and spiritually ready for competition and for life. If God created sport, and it is tarnished by sin, it needs to be drastically redeemed for God's glory.

The UP-LA is a unique opportunity. While teaching the students how to honor and uphold the testimony of Jesus Christ in their athletic and personal lives, the UP-LA tackles the topics of racism, power, culture, poverty, class, privilege, responsibility, and social justice, and what the Gospel of Christ has to say about these ever-relevant and important issues.
