Youth Leaders attend weekly Youth Leadership Development trainings covering a large range of topics from music and dance history to racism and other issues posing challenges to Urban youth of color. With the combination of information and skills we create a statement through art and take every opportunity available to participate in positive social change. Our group chooses music that raises awareness about community issues and we often incorporate skits into the routines to further emphasize the message. We believe that art is a viable tool for creating positive social change and strive to demonstrate this in our own art work. We have used our organizing skills and connections in the community to mobilize youth for the December 1st Rosa Parks march and the March 18th anti-war march. We have consistently worked against racial profiling and police brutality by participating in the annual Set the Captives Free, Jericho political prisoners concert. We organized a concert to benefit the Somerville 5, five young men that were racially profiled and beaten by the police in Medford, MA

In the past year and a half we have participated in over fifty community shows, we won first place for dance at the Boston Puerto Rican Festival 05. We have also been selected to represent Boston in a dance concert in Paris, France this summer.
