Sponsor The OFIDA Project

Our Mission

The O.F.I.D.A. Project (Open Forum Into Developing Adulthood), founded over 20 years ago by Skip and Susan Ross, is a Christian non-profit organization dedicated to empowering individuals of all ages to discover their God-given potential. Our mission is to resource the rising generation to live well through the changing of an age, addressing the unparalleled anxiety, decline in meaningful connections, and palpable loss of purpose facing our youth today.

Our Unique Approach

At this critical cultural moment, we offer a return to foundational stories and transcendental realities that ground our rising generation in what is good, true, and beautiful. We create an "open forum" where participants are both students and teachers, learning from each other and growing together. This collaborative environment nurtures the next generation to become all that God created them to be, integrating Christian virtues with practical life skills.

Our Core Services

Circle A Summit

Our flagship initiative is the Circle A Summit, an innovative family camp experience that goes beyond traditional summer programs. This unique gathering brings together leaders, trailblazers, and families in a breathtaking natural setting, fostering adventure, reflection, growth, and relationship building. The Summit integrates classic camp activities with cutting-edge learning formats, addressing crucial topics such as virtue, connection, stewardship, and purpose in a fresh, uplifting, transformative environment.

Pioneer Circle

A year-round virtual community for 8-18 year-olds and their families. We offer goal-setting tools, weekly video content, monthly coaching calls, group challenges, and personal encouragement to support continuous growth.

Outreach Partnerships

We collaborate with organizations like the Grow Into You Foundation to provide coaching, mentoring, support, and resources to individuals experiencing hardship, particularly those within and aging out of the foster care system.

Our Impact

Through these interconnected services, we strive to reclaim and proclaim the ancient truths that transcend modernity in a way that engages our next generation. We aim to create a nurturing environment where God's love is evident and every individual is embraced, included, and cherished. By fostering an environment of God's love and providing practical tools for personal growth, we empower the rising generation with the tools, wisdom, stories, and relationships they need to navigate life's challenges and become all that God created them to be.

The O.F.I.D.A. project is more than an organization—it's a movement dedicated to transforming lives and preparing the next generation to live purposeful, impactful lives in service to God and their communities.
