5 Elements Youth Network at the Precita Eyes Youth Urban Arts Festival 2017 ❤️🎨🙏🏽

5 Elements was honored to bring our founding middle school cohort to Rock the School Bells 2016, which unites communities from across the Bay Area to come together at an all-ages youth conference that blends workshops and performances that enhance students’ ability to think critically about current issues in the world as well as their communities. Students will learn about the historical and cultural aspects of Hip Hop and its effect on education.

Congratulations to the RTSB team for 10yrs of hip-hop education & youth empowerment!

5 Elements Youth Network honors black (her)story year round ⚡️ and for this occasion we encourage our friends & families to visit the "All Power To The People" Black Panther Party 50th Anniversary exhibit at the Oakland Museum, up until Feb 26, 2017. It's a beautiful display of the rich legacy of black leadership in local movements. 

In 1966 young people in the Bay Area organized and inspired efforts nationally to created community social programs that met people's basic needs. Only WE can create change!
