The Victory Project Podcast

By undoing hopelessness with Godly purpose, the Victory Project (VP) has created a culture of success in the lives of disengaged youth.

This podcast is co-hosted by current students, and alumni who will inspire and challenge the listener. As VP motto states, ”It’s less about what we do and more about what we undo’. As you listen to this podcast, maybe you too, will become ’Undone’.
