Project Delaware (UPD) is the oldest, continuously running Ulster Project in the
United States. Founded in 1976,
UPD will begin its 33rd year in the summer of 2008. Since its
inception UPD has brought over 637 Catholic and Protestant teens
and 120 adult leaders from the towns of Coleraine, and Portadown
in Northern Ireland to the Wilmington area
for a month-long series of activities that promote enduring friendships and
mutual understanding. While here, the teens and
adult leaders live with host families with teens of a similar age, between
14 and 16 years old. This year, 18 teens and 4 adult
leaders will arrive from Portadown to stay with host families in our area
during the month of July. This project is overseen
by Delaware Pacem in Terris, a nonprofit interfaith organization dedicated
to promoting peace with justice, through
education and action at home and abroad.
