Hip Hop 360

    With a focus on programs that work with disadvantaged children through education, development, counseling, and mentoring, Hip Hop 360 offers dance and art workshops designed to develop creativity while providing youth in elementary, middle and high schools and residential programs with a unique outlet for self-expression and the opportunity to learn new skills and build self-confidence. Volunteers and program staff serve as mentors to provide positive adult role models, direction and guidance about everyday choices as well as instruction about how to use performance and visual arts as a means of self-expression and how to explore possible career paths within the arts field.


    The goals of Hip Hop 360 are to:


  • Give youth a creative outlet to express themselves
  • Encourage cooperative learning through group projects
  • Build self-confidence through program activities and connections with positive adult mentors and role models.

    • To achieve its goals, Hip Hop 360 provides workshops and activities as positive alternatives to being on the streets and at risk of engaging in negative and self-destructive behaviors. These include Dance Workshops, Urban Art Workshops, Cultural Arts Field Trips, and a Completion Celebration and Showcase of final team projects.


    The only program of its kind in our area, Hip Hop 360 partners with local schools, community centers and other service agencies to offer our programs to as many youth as possible.
