General Info
Teens under construction is a youth organization and a champion of positive youth development and empowerment. Teens under construction was created in response to the opportunity gaps faced by youth. Especially within the lower income communities of color. And the lack of resources to address the issue. Through OUR programs. Students will learn the NON cognitive skills that will build their capacity to combat the challenges associated with student achievement. Cultivate post secondary aspirations. And provide them with life skills that will prepare them for their transition to adulthood. OUR vision is for ALL young people to have equal resources. Programs. And opportunities to become strong leaders and significant contributors to society. HIP HOP is a global cultural communication style including the pillars of music. ART and dance. Slam poetry. BEATBOX and beat making have become worldwide ways young people and adults USE to express their thoughts. Feelings. Ideas. Values. Knowledge and wisdom in urban. Rural. Suburban and other environments. Today youth and HIP HOP are tied UP together around the world AS an avenue for social change that CAN build power. Ability and inspiration. HIP HOP is NOT just a music. It is an attitude. It is an awareness. And it is a WAY to view the world. HIP HOP music has served AS a powerful voice and form of expression for young black audiences and has evolved into a culture with its OWN language. Style of dress and mindset. But despite its popularity and appeal. FEW nutrition and physical activity programs have used its ability to speak to the needs and values of youth.
