Overview
Mission
Project HIP-HOP helps young people to learn about the social justice issues in their community and to create both art and community engagement projects to improve their neighborhood and their lives.
What it reported doing in 2010
Gender-Separate Work - Project HIP-HOP continued its work to support girls to be part of hip hop culture. In the spring there was a Girlz and Guyz Cypher group which trained young women to do spoken word. 6 girls completed the program and created a group poem about the need for women's voices to be heard within hip hop culture. They guys explored issues of masculinity and how it becomes linked to agression and violence. During the summer there were inter-generational mentoring nights were women or men of all ages came together to participate in activities, eat a family-style dinner and hear about the career of one professional. Forty-five girls and 28 boys participated in these activities.
