P4P believes in our nation's youth. We start building and empowering in our own backyard here in Austin, TX. The Cipher Austin is one of the organizations we will be promoting through our own marketing resource, YEM Promotions, the marketing division of 1205 Productions.
Below is info about The Cipher Austin taken from their Facebook Causes profile:
The Cipher’s mission is to build a community of young leaders and engaged hip-hop artists. We help them use their voice and leadership for positive social change. The creative expression and public performances encouraged in "The Cipher" produce a group of confident and involved young people. Through the program these teens not only have the opportunity to learn about the music industry, but they also are taught valuable life skills such as teamwork, commitment, and techniques for modeling healthy relationships. The members of the Cipher leave the program empowered, authentic and connected to the Austin music industry. The program provides these young people with a positive learning experience, allowing them to gain new skills and competencies, as well as build self-esteem, improve academic performance and expand possibilities for their futures.
Like any non-profit organization, The Cipher Austin actively seeks funding and donations from the community it serves.
We start our twice a week meetings in September, we need to pay for writing supplies, meal donations, insurance, cds, artwork, money for community events and to pay for the instructor as he engages these youth in sociopolitical and personal discussions 6 hours a week throughout the year. We also do a lot of work around housing, school, jobs, legal maters and building healthy relationships as they move through The Cipher. This process will culminate in another album and even more young people will be engaged and empowered. Please help by providing a meal donation or a financial contribution.
