Victory Project Announces Expansion to Girls Campus, Advancing Mission to Break the Pillars of Poverty

Dayton, OH— Victory Project is proud to announce its expansion to a new Girls Campus in the Twin Towers Neighborhood dedicated to serving young women in Montgomery County. This expansion is made possible through a generous gift from Christian Life Center, whose partnership represents a shared commitment to restoring hope, opportunity, and purpose for young women in the Dayton community. This strategic growth marks a significant milestone in the organization’s mission to combat the “Pillars of Poverty” by mentoring disengaged students through tutoring, faith-based life skills, and workforce development training. Victory Project exists to help students graduate, grow in Christ, and build stable, purpose-filled futures.

The Girls Campus, led by Operations Director Jessica Watkins and Program Director Angie Jackson, will extend Victory Project’s proven model—centered on the 3 E’s: Education, Entrepreneurship, and Enlightenment—to young women who face fundamental barriers to success. Through structured programming, mentorship, and holistic support, Victory Project addresses the root causes of poverty while fostering resilience, responsibility, and long-term stability.

“We are beyond excited to bring the vision of the Girls Division to life in August,” said Watkins. “While we will be serving young women, our mission, philosophy, and core values remain the same. We are undoing hopelessness with Godly purpose, modeling work as the reward, offering love and accountability, and providing a safe and consistent environment.”

The expansion is a key component of the organization’s Victory Over Poverty Capital Campaign, a multi-year effort designed to strengthen operational sustainability, expand program reach, and secure long-term impact across multiple campuses. Funds raised through the campaign will support program development, staffing, facilities, and an endowment to ensure continued services for students and alumni for years to come.

In addition to financial support, Victory Project is actively seeking volunteers to help bring the Girls Campus to life. Volunteers play a vital role in building trusted relationships and modeling the consistency and commitment that are central to Victory Project’s approach. Victory Project invites community members, donors, and prospective volunteers to learn more about the Girls Campus, the Victory Over Poverty Capital Campaign, and ways to get involved by visiting www.victoryproject.org.

“This expansion is an answer to prayer and to the most common question I’ve heard for 17 years: ‘When will Victory Project have a girls program?’ The board and I have full confidence in Jessica’s and Angie’s ability to mirror VP’s culture of success and to live out our faith in action through this new program,” said Monnie Bush, Founder & C.E.O.
