YOUTHFEST

YOUTHFEST is an educational, exciting and highly interactive “back-to-school” empowerment and prevention initiative for New York City’s youth. Every year, young people ages 12-18, and their parents, gather at this annual free event which provides an environment for communication, education, entertainment and positive messaging. Hosted by renowned youth empowerment organization Hip Hop 4 Life, this annual event is designed to promote a healthy and safe school year, and motivate young people to:

• Build and foster positive self-esteem

• Develop confidence and sound judgment

• Be a catalyst for positive change within their communities
