Before your register, please read the Handbook to familiarize yourself with JOP:
July 9-14, 2024
Justice Outreach Project is a week’s worth of service, learning, and solidarity. Centered on the principles of Catholic Social Teaching, JOP is about engaging in meaningful, Christ-centered relationships with the Blackfeet. Focused on the needs & capabilities of young people by placing them outside their comfort zone, this extraordinarily fun and unique adventure crosses the borders of race and culture. Each day is unique, but they all include a mix of prayer, worship, work, play, and cultural immersion.
Registration Information (Opens January 2024)
Don’t come alone! JOP is best experienced with a local faith community. Individuals are welcome to register, but it is much better to get your parish/school group organized and register together.
The adult to youth chaperone ratio is (1-10). Transportation to and from the event is the responsibility of the individual/group. We have limited capacity for transportation during the week, which is also why we encourage youth groups to participate together in order to ensure
OYYAM has some staff who may serve as an Adult Chaperone for youth from communities without a youth minister. Space is limited; contact OYYAM at 406.442.5820.
High school youth should not register without first confirming that they have an Adult Chaperone.

Online Course on Catholic Social Teaching:
In the summer of 2018, the Office of Youth & Young Adult Ministry, through the generosity of SonLight and other donors, embarked on a mission to document, record, and share the blessing of Justice Outreach Project.
Our goal was to create a series of visually-stunning, short videos that would introduce the principles of Catholic Social Teaching through the lens of life on a Native American Reservation.
Our hope is that parishes and individuals would use these videos to both prepare their youth before they participate in J.O.P. and to use them in their own ministry programs as a way to discuss CST. To that end, we have developed an online course that incorporates other resources (e.g. scripture, the Catechism, papal & synodal documents, etc.) with these videos.
