Youth Against Prejudice

Our Mission

Youth Against Prejudice develops programs that raise awareness, educate, inspire and activate young people to become ambassadors of change to eliminate prejudice and racism.

Awareness

Our programs are designed to help participants understand and value differences between individuals and groups - a first step toward acceptance and trust.

Education

Sharing differing viewpoints born out of diverse backgrounds enriches the dialogue and supports creative problem solving.

Activism

Participants are able to express themselves through art, music, and discussion with their peers, developing leadership tools to create positive change.

Our Programs

When young people express themselves through art, music, and discussion with their peers, they develop leadership tools to create positive change.

Youth Against Prejudice Podcast Program

The podcast program gives young people the opportunity to perform all the roles involved in making a podcast from start to finish.

The History of Hip Hop will show how composers and performers of different ethnic backgrounds created the music styles - including jazz, gospel, rock and roll, soul, and funk - that led to the development of hip hop.

Art As A Voice For Change

The purpose of this program is to enable the participants to use artistic expression to tell their stories of how they have overcome racism and prejudice and replace it with acceptance and understanding.

The Heroes Program is a seven-week program in which scientists, artists, cultural leaders, political leaders, sport figures, and business people of all ethnic groups will be presented and discussed.

Museum Program
