THE LOVELY PROJECT, INC.
ORLANDO, FLORIDA

The Lovely Project is a Non-Profit Organization, headquartered in Orlando, Florida, that exists to empower girls by providing them with tools, education and peer-mentorship for living a purposeful, productive life. Our mission is for every young girl to grow into a woman who will create positive impact on the world around them. The girls we reach in our community have the opportunity to cultivate healthy friendships in a safe, fun environment while being encouraged and mentored. Our vision is for every girl to know that she is Lovely. The idea that would become The Lovely Project began one night in Kiev, Ukraine, during a marriage conference where Dr. Crystal Evans and her husband, Pastor Mark Evans were serving as guest speakers. After ministering to women during that conference, Dr. Evans felt a clear call to come home and begin working with young women. Not just working with them, but training them up on a weekly basis to become leaders to a generation of young girls and women in the city of Orlando and beyond. During these weekly meetings, these women got real with one another, Godly principles were applied, and positive changes were made in each of their lives that not only affected them, but their entire families. Through this process a common passion became apparent: to help other girls become heal and whole women who contribute to our community. It takes a woman who is whole to create the atmosphere that allows for healthy growth in families. Many women did not receive emotionally what they needed to reach adulthood in wholeness. Yes, they have adult bodies, but they are not adults in their responses or habits. The Lovely Project is Crystal and her team of young women who have asked the question, "How would my city be changed if the women living here were whole--emotionally, spiritually, and relationally?" That question has sparked a movement of women who are going above and beyond to connect with, relate to and empower the girls and young women in our community: The Lovely Project. Dr. Evans is also the visionary and senior editor of The Lovely Project's online magazine, WeAreLovely.com. Her passion is to empower young women and girls to realize their incredible, God-given potential and purpose.
