Find out more about the Urban Arts Program here

TRUE Skool served 75 unduplicated youth from February to November in 2011 between the ages of 14-19 years old. Youth who participated in our Urban Arts after-school and summer program completed a total of 194 hours of arts instruction and 390 hours of community service through program related activities.

We also maintained an 85% attendance rate, 85% of our court referrals enrolled in programming beyond their completed court ordered community service and 85% of court referrals had no police contact after being enrolled in our programs for at least 6 months.

Hip Hop is more than music...

... it goes beyond dance and sounds, it is about culture, history and skills. It was born of the same societal ills we see youth facing today; lack of jobs and economic opportunities, violence in our neighborhoods and at home, broken families, gangs, under funded schools and lack of community resources.

Hip Hop is a tool and a culture in itself that allows for positive change in one’s life and promotes the true meaning of “community”. Few social movements have been as effective as uniting cultures as Hip Hop has been for over 30 years.

We explore the cultural and historical ties of the elements; DJ, Breakdance, MC, Graffiti, Knowledge through interactive workshops, events, lectures, projects and classes. -TRUE Skool, Inc.
