Applications for the first round of Pay It Forward Mini-Grants are currently being accepted.

In order to be considered, applicants must demonstrate that their projects contain a “pay it forward” focus; they must be based on the concept of one person doing a favor for others, who in turn do favors for others, with the results growing exponentially.

MTV Tr3s needs unique Latinos for documentary image spots
-Do you or your friends show "Tu Pride" by being INVOLVED WITH your COMMUNITY?
MTV Tr3s is shooting documentary image spots about proud bi-cultural Latinos (people with a strong connection to both their American and Latin Heritage or culture) who were raised in the US. We're looking for real people doing real things within their community. In this important election year, MTV Tr3s is especially looking to hear how voting and political issues touch your life. What issues are important to you and your family? How are you involved in voting and getting your voice heard for the future? It can be anything from school leadership to community activism to how you're involved with the upcoming election. If you're politically involved in Latino culture or sub-culture, Tr3s wants to know about it! We're especially looking for those who appear to be in the age range of 15-25 and live in Chicago, Miami, Washington DC, Phoenix, Tucson, San Diego & Las Vegas. |
