SEATTLE HIP-HOP SUMMIT YOUTH COUNCIL
Description
Our strategy uses Hip-Hop as a point of engagement to involve youth in personal life skills and community development activities while exposing youth to a variety of career and business opportunities in various fields including entertainment, arts, culture, business administration, entrepreneurship, journalism, film/video, technology, marketing, education, social justice, human services and politics. To maximize its impact, SHSANYC partners with organizations to create out-of-school time youth development programs and activities.
The youth council also sponsors regular events focused on educating and empowering youth. The events give youth the opportunity to have an open forum with artists and industry insiders about the opportunities and realities of the Hip-Hop/entertainment industry and other issues of relevance to the Hip-Hop generation. Past participants include Hip-Hop mogul Russell Simmons, Dr. Ben Chavis, Dead Prez, Jin Tha MC, J-Live, Jae Millz and former Source Magazine Editor in Chief Dasun"DX21" Allah, Boots Riley of the Coup and recording artist and journalist Amanda Diva.
