The Ulster Project was started in 1975 by Rev. Stephen Kent Jacobson (Episcopal Church in the USA) and Rev. Kerry Waterstone, a Church of Ireland priest in Tullamore, County Offally in order to provide a safe place in America for teenagers in Northern Ireland to discuss the climate of "The Troubles" that was facing them at home. Its original success in Connecticut led rapidly to member cities across the United States.
