HYPE

Helping Youth Plan For Excellence

HYPE is a media leadership group that creates a positive setting for urban youth ages 13-24. The project utilizes student involvement in media as the vehicle to establish ongoing youth development activities. Since 1999, HYPE members have produced quality programming giving accurate, culturally sensitive HIV/AIDS and substance abuse prevention information to their peers in an up-beat entertaining way. Students work to create stage performances that speak to their peers in positive ways. Students reach nearly 3,000 youth annually in their performances at Kauffman Performing Arts Center and other venues.
