FAQ

Who is this program for?
The Deluge Leadership Program is designed for young adults ages 18-29 who have graduated high school.

Can I work and still do Deluge?
Yes, we understand that some participants have to work. Because we want every person to experience the entire program, so they don’t miss out on what God has for them, we ask that work arrangements be made to fit around the deluge schedule.

Can I go to school and still do Deluge?
Yes, we understand that some participants have school. Because we want every person to experience the entire program, so they don’t miss out on what God has for them, we ask that school arrangements be made to fit around the deluge schedule.
