Mission
To provide high quality arts/entrepreneurship education for young men of color in the city of Detroit; with an emphasis on: professional development, strategic goal setting, aesthetics, and artistic integrity. All held in a space that reflects them and their culture.
Program accomplishments
- We officially opened a new media center February 2023 led by one of our youth members Xavier Cuevas. This center will house a computer lab, small editing setup for video, sound lab and meeting space for young adults across Detroit. The main key to this new space will be the infinity wall we will be building. Currently the media house is in the final process of build out and we anticipate it to be complete by the end of 2024.
- Youth Organizing Stipend We hired 2 youth at, $17,500 stipends each year. The youth organizers within our program organize and maintain our projects. These youth organizers are youth themselves between 18-24 which allows them to have direct influence on our projects.
- Berlin International Music Exchange Program BETROIT We have commited to a 3 year International Music Exchange Program with the Nonprofit Gang Ways in Berlin, Germany {they work with hundreds at risk youth of color in Germany} which consists of a 10 youth artist exchange and music collaboration.
