Living more sustainably with the earth and more fairly with its people—that's the mission of the New Community Project. Join us as we provide resources that challenge us, experiences that change us, and a community that gives us hope.
Our work includes:
- Learning Tours to the Arctic, Amazon, Africa, Southeast Asia —places where the earth and our neighbors are struggling
- a Sustainable Living Homestead that combines organic gardening and programs to undo global warming with outreach to those at the margins of the community
- speakers and workshop leaders for schools, colleges, congregations, youth events, and other gatherings
- Solidarity Workers in other countries and cultures
- a variety of engaging print and web-based resources
- a support network for like-minded souls, with a special interest in empowering youth and young adults

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! |
