WHY: You are invited to be a part of history, the first capacity
building two-day "teach-in" dedicated to hip-hop nonprofits, non
profits with hip-hop programs and non profits who self identify as
working with the hip-hop generation(s) in California.
We have invited
more than 72 nonprofits, foundations, government agencies, educators,
and entrepreneurs from throughout the state with the expressed
intention of "Remixing the Art of Social Change.
"

This event is designed to outline the tools and resources necessary to
build sustainable organizations.
Take some time to review our agenda
as outlined below.
It's rather ambitious, but it lays a great
foundation for future teach-ins.
This event is patterned after the WBL
Urban Arts Academy workshops in that they will all be three-fold:
lecture, Q&A, and hands-on experience.
This teach-in is dedicated to
the folk who never gave up on hip-hop and are actively still working
through it to promote love, peace, unity and having fun.


This is for people looking to partner with hip-hop artists to bring
programs to your communities and organizations.
It?s also for people
who move beyond hip-hop as a purely aesthetic art and see it as a
vehicle to build organizations, to organize politically, and to
educate youth and communities.
This teach-in is for organizations and
companies ready to move to the next stage of their development.

All teach-in workshops are only $5 per participant if you register on
or before September 12th.
Once you register, you will be sent an
agenda via e-mail or you can view it on the registration page.
