Congressman Cumming's Youth Program for 10th Graders
Congressman Cumming's Youth Program for 10th Graders
ABOUT THE PROGRAM:
“The Elijah Cummings Youth Program (ECYP) was started 26 years ago by the late Congressman Elijah Cummings. He created ECYP because he had a vision that teens from Maryland's 7th District would have the opportunity to have their young minds and worlds expanded through this program. Through curriculum, dialogue, community service and travel, ECYP imparts the values critical for peaceful coexistence, whether it's here in Baltimore, in Israel, or anywhere in the world.
ECYP fellows go on to be "our living messages we send to a future we will never see". They are leaders who aspire to see the future of the world as peaceful and prosperous. They build bridges between cultures and cultivate leadership for generations to come.
ECYP’s application is out now. If you work with a 10th grader in Maryland’s 7th district (they must live or go to school), who you feel has the potential to be successful in ECYP, I encourage you to nominate them. Our staff will follow up with more information including a link to the online application and encourage them to apply.
ECYP seeks students interested in:
International travel to broaden their worldview and cultural understanding
Opportunities for networking and building like-minded peer relationships
Receiving cross-cultural dialogue training
Show evidence of academic achievement or potential
ECYP selects 12-13 students across Maryland’s 7th district. If selected, students have the opportunity to develop relationships with young people across the district, develop leadership skills, learn about leadership with leaders across the state via meetings in Annapolis and Washington, DC and travel. The program is free and at no cost to students.

Congressional Art Competition
Congressional Art Competition
Dear Constituent,
I am proud to announce that applications for this year’s Congressional Art Competition for Maryland’s 7th Congressional District are now OPEN. The Congressional Art Competition is a way for Members of Congress to encourage, bolster, and highlight the artistic talents of our young constituents in high school.
The Congressional Art Competition is open to all high school students in our Congressional District. Each Member of Congress may select one piece of artwork to be displayed on Capitol Hill through the Competition. After deliberation by distinguished judges on my Art Competition judging panel, the winning artwork will be displayed with others from across the country in the Cannon Tunnel, between the U.S. Capitol and Cannon House Office Building, for one year.
The student will also be honored at the Congressional Art Competition Reception in Washington, D.C. and is eligible for a $3,000 scholarship to Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD).
PLEASE NOTE: All artwork entries must be received by my Congressional Office by April 18, 2025. Students must contact Katelyn Laughman, Senior Constituent Services Representative, via email at Katelyn.Laughman@mail.house.gov, or by phone at (410) 685-9199, to arrange drop-off or pick-up.
The 2025 Competition Rules can be found here. Students must also submit the Student Information and Release Form with their artwork, which can be accessed here.
Each year, I am always so very impressed by the stories told by the artwork we receive and the sheer talent they display. Following the competition, I look forward to sharing photos of the submissions we receive publicly, via social media, with the media, on my official website, etc.
However, before sharing any submissions, I want to ensure that all students and their parents or legal guardians are comfortable having photos of their artwork shared.
If you are willing to have your artwork shared publicly, please provide a completed Student Media Release Form with your submission. Students 18 or older can complete and sign the form themselves. However, for students under 18, a parent or legal guardian should complete the form. The Student Media Release Formcan be found by clicking here.
