Youth Organized and United to Help to motivate, inspire and empower youth, family and educators to dismantle the school to prison
(1)

Y.O.U.th is a 501(c)3 non profit that works to disrupt and dismantle the school to prison pipeline epidemic through literacy awareness, parent advocacy and challenging existing structures. Our first summit began in 2007 in response to the murder of DaVonte Lightfoot. The summit provided an atmosphere for youth and adults to experience a high level of reasoning and edutainment while also exploring

the elements of Hip Hop which has ancient roots and connections to the so-called African Diaspora. The Summit has featured small business vendors and community based non-profits to provide a wealth of resources and information for all participants. Our keynote speakers have been Professor Griff of Public Enemy, Jasiri X, and Rob Ingram (May Allah Be Pleased with Him).
