Group Size
The Project Indiana program accommodates up to 50 participants, which fosters expanded social interactions and friendships within the group during evening activities and weekend excursions. Depending on the specific site, each service project will consist of five to fifteen participants. This enables our teenagers to benefit from small group and one-on-one interaction at the service project.
