She carries the vision of uniting generations to shape thousands of
faith-filled leaders that will impact our city for Christ.
A Note from Karyn
Hello friends, I am so excited to be here as your new Oak Project Director. As a previous OP Mentor, I have been a beneficiary of the blessings of this program through Chris Kinney’s leadership over several years. So, while I am new to this role, I am really an old friend of the initiative to unite generations to make a difference in the Nashville area through mentoring.
As we endeavor into this new chapter of the Oak Project, I whole-heartedly thank all the mentees and mentors that have been a part of the Oak Project in the past. Hundreds have been impacted in remarkable ways as blessings flowed both ways.
God is assuredly moving in and through the Oak Project. With excitement and curiosity, we look to The Lord and pray that our efforts may glorify Him.
What is the Oak Project?
Oak Project exists to create intergenerational relationships through a once a month, year-long, Christian mentoring program that engages topics of human flourishing in order to equip, support and activate both generations to become beacons of light and hope in our city.

STATE OF NASHVILLE
OAK PROJECT
According to the State of Nashville, workplace satisfaction is 22% worse in Nashville than national norms (55% vs 77%). Oak Project mentoring groups create space for mentees and mentors to thrive, not only in the workplace, but in every aspect of their identity.
We connect motivated young adults with experienced mentors for the purpose of self-development and intentional relationship.

"It is our responsibility and our duty to feed young people who are trying to be fed with the information they need to get better. The Oak Project gives me an opportunity to utilize my energy… to stay healthy and vibrant, because I’m around young, vibrant people that want to be the best that they can be."
