Each year, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops offers a Multimedia Youth Contest
RSVP with number attending to cjevents@corjesu.org by July 31. to help schools and parishes engage youth in learning about the root causes of pov-
erty and the Church’s response. Youth in grades 7-12 learn about poverty in the U.S.,
its causes, Catholic social teaching and the work of Catholic groups to address poverty.
Sharing the love of the heart of Christ since 1956 Youth will then work to educate others through creative work of any medium (e.g. video,
song, painting, drama, poetry, etc.). Dioceses judge entries locally and then send top
entries to the national contest. The grand-prize winner receives $500, plus a matching Kelly
grant for a CCHD Funded anti-poverty organization and a trip to a national conference.
