About Us

Today, Hip Hop Culture is reflective of the many life-styles that children adhere to within the premature stages of development.  Within the past thirty some years of its existence, Hip Hop Culture has grown to be a large-scale worldwide movement that has dictated and affected the lives of many.  Currently, the stage of Hip Hop has undergone extreme altercations as a result of the effects of its utilization through marketable strategies within the mass media as a means for capital, which has had, and is still having, direct effects on the massive amounts of populations, in particular youths.

Our Mission

Our mission is to employ college students as role models to encourage youths within the community to take active roles in the teaching, learning, and sharing of ideals - in order to improve not only the knowledge but the learning experiences of youths within the schooling system.  By communicating and connecting with students at a comprehension, we will attempt to create a healthy, productive, and caring community between The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the cities of Champaign and Urbana.
