""Hiphop N2 Learning was founded to empower African-American youth and young adults by providing a platform for hip hop, music videos, and travel to foster positive changes locally, statewide, federally, and globally. With a mission to use the knowledge of Black youth to educate and influence positive change through self-awareness and self-expression, HHN2L has mentored over 130 students and 50 TRYP members using the 9 Elements of Hip Hop. Their vision is to leverage Hip Hop Culture to create structural changes benefiting Black and Brown youth. HHN2L offers a safe space for young people (ages 8 to 21) to develop talents and gain experience in music and performing arts through four pillars: Hip Hop-Based Education, Music Creation, Career Development, and Advocacy. These pillars ensure systemic change for students, their peers, families, and vulnerable populations."" - The Real Young Prodigys
