We’ve posted several Jubilee Project shorts The Waiting Game and Love Language. Now, they want you involved. The Jubilee Project released a video calling for you to get involved in your community. Part of the mission of Jubilee Project is to inspire others to do good in their communities. To celebrate Thanksgiving this year, they are calling people to volunteer and make a video of themselves doing it. They will take clips from these videos and make a composite video featuring people doing good in their own part of the country. Upload your video as a response to the video below by December 1. Please title the video: “Jubilee Project Thanksgiving: Your Title”. In the video, tell them who you are, who you are helping and what inspired you to do it. Volunteer activities can range from feeding the homeless to mentoring a friend– anything that helps others in need.

Also Jubilee Project is planning a JP Concert Tour through the East Coast in February 2011. If you would like to take part and help with this, email Project.Jubilee@gmail.com.

Jubilee Project Thanksgiving

The Jubilee Project releases a video called “Join Us,” which explains the mission of The Jubilee Project and the work it has done so far. (channelAPA.com has posted several of their videos including The Waiting Game and Love Language.) Over the last 8 months, they have witnessed an amazing thing: through their videos, they raised over $9,450 dollars to help North Korean refugees, Liberian widows and children, deaf community, Haiti victims, and others.

This is not a just a group of guys making videos. It’s about the community getting involved to help address the issues of our day. The purpose of this video is to ask for your help. They would love to hear your ideas, your stories, and your suggestions. As they move forward, they’ll be calling on you to make your own videos, share your passions and use your skills to make a difference in your own communities.

Jubilee Project Introduction

More about Jubilee Project

The Jubilee Project is an initiative that makes videos for a good cause. They have created 22 videos that have raised over $9,450 for seven non-profit organizations. Each video educates and empowers the community to take action on various issues.

Shawn and his Uncultured Project (UP) project was profiled on YouTube today. It’s not a charity. It’s not a big organization. It’s just a guy using the power of the YouTube community to help the poor.

The YouTube community will be helping over 10,000 children in rural Bangladesh by supporting the efforts of 96 health workers and the distribution of 80 Salter Scales. Each health worker is estimated to be helping 150 to 200 children over the course of a year fighting severe acute malnutrition, pneumonia, diarrhea and other common childhood killers.

More about Shawn
Shawn was a grad student at Notre Dame. Then he heard Dr. Jeffrey Sachs (author of the book “The End of Poverty“) talk about how it’s our generation’s responsibility to end poverty. He withdrew from grad school, packed his bags, grabbed a laptop & camcorder, and flew to Bangladesh (where his parents were born) to see how he could make a difference. In over three years, the YouTube community has helped him rebuild a school, provide scholarships, disaster relief, food, clean water, school supplies, and much more in both Bangladesh & around the world. This isn’t a formal charity – he just do this as an individual with the support of the YouTube community. “Uncultured” is a reference to me – not the people he’s helping.
