Belmont Helps Project Transformation Move Students to Ministry
This summer the University is helping  a nonprofit, United Methodist-affiliated organization transform Nashville through the outreach of college students.

Project Transformation provides leadership development and ministry exploration opportunities to college-age young adults through immersion in churches in Middle Tennessee’s low-income neighborhoods.
