Each spring, the Urban Youth Collaborative gives out $100 mini-grants to 50 campus clubs of middle schoolers and high schoolers. They read Jesus’ Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25, design an original project that puts the money to work for the sake of others, and make a 90-second YouTube video to give an account of their work.
The Project 25 Awards is the culmination of this challenge and a celebration where trophies are presented to clubs who did the most extraordinary projects. The gospel of Jesus Christ is clearly presented and students are given an opportunity to respond at the Project 25 Awards ceremony.
