What is Pip Start?
Pip Start was grown out of a passion to prepare youth to serve and give to society with God's heart in mind. Webster's College Dictionary defines the word "pip", as a seed, especially of a fleshy fruit, or a fruit seed. Appropriately named, Pip Start's objective is to nurture the seeds of God's purpose in youth by teaching life skills, character, and academics, allowing youth to exchange destructive behavior for fruitfulness.

Pip Start focuses on two major programs: Master Builder and PIP Ministries. These programs enable us to reach youth thus, serving communities through education and service. Master Builder serves grades 3-8 in after school and community settings focusing on math, science, business, leadership and character by way of trained staff, mentors, volunteers and other staff. PIP Ministries brings communities, neighborhoods, businesses, neighborhoods and churches together to build and serve by use of staff, volunteers, services organizations, youth needing community service and others.

Where did Pip Start come from?
Pip Start is a merger between two 501c(3) non-profit corporations, PIP Ministries and MOVES. PIP Ministries was founded in 1998 with the purpose to promote Christian fellowship in youth and the community. MOVES (Motivational Outreach for Visions of Engineering and Science) was founded in 1995 with the purpose to motivate students to learn through teamwork, creativity and problems solving; and using math, science and engineering as a tool. The two merged together to form Pip Start in 2002.
