We honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy by fostering unity, racial equity, and youth empowerment through artistic and cultural expression.

The community provides a platform for diverse youth to showcase their talents, voice their concerns, and advocate for social justice, safety, and wellness.

Youth encourages community involvement and volunteerism, allowing youth to engage in meaningful activities that contribute to their development and the community's well-being.

Attendees commit to create a more inclusive, safe, and empowered community by engaging youth, particularly those from marginalized communities, in leadership roles.
