Project Description:

The Movers & Shakers Youth Activism Program, a subsidiary of our Movers & Shakers mentorship initiative, empowers and nurtures BIPOC high school students in the New York Metropolitan Area. This transformative eight-month journey includes one-on-one mentorship, skill-building workshops, community service, and study abroad opportunities.

At the core of our program lies a holistic approach to youth development encapsulated in the acronym I AM C.U.L.T.U.R.E.D. Our goal is to enhance the social, intellectual, and mental well-being of our student ambassadors, fostering the growth of empowered Global Citizens.

In collaboration with mentors and facilitators, students embark on a journey of self-discovery and activism. Through education, advocacy, and hands-on experience, participants cultivate the skills and confidence to effect positive change in their communities.

Throughout the program, students engage in personalized mentorship, monthly workshops, community service, and study abroad experiences, fostering their growth as informed, compassionate leaders.

Mentors guide student ambassadors in creating campaigns through discussions and research, encouraging involvement with local organizations supporting their causes.

The culmination of the Youth Activism program is a final presentation where students showcase their campaigns and initiatives addressing identified issues. A cumulative video of select students’ impactful work is featured at our Annual Fundraising Gala and Community Day, celebrating their contributions to a better world.

Our program’s goals are clear: empower students to identify, advocate for, and address relevant issues; create meaningful campaigns and initiatives; and inspire lifelong commitment to activism and social change.

Project Title: NEXTGen Musician Program
Project Description:

NEXTGen Musician is a youth leadership and arts advocacy program for New York City teens who are passionate about music. The only program of its kind in NYC, NEXTGen equips teens with the knowledge and tools they need to develop as performing artists and burgeoning leaders in the cultural arts sector.

Each academic year, NEXTGen engages a cohort of 12 teens ages 15-18. The students – who are recruited from traditional public or charter schools across the boroughs – come from various socio-economic, racial and ethnic backgrounds, bringing with them a wide range of life experiences and perspectives. The diversity of the cohort is one of its key strengths: Students learn not only from celebrated guest artists and thought leaders but from each other. The result is a genuine broadening of students’ horizons as they cultivate an artistic community of like-minded peers.

During the first year of enrollment, each teen receives:
-A program stipend of $500;
-Weekly private music lessons;
-Masterclasses and performances featuring renowned musicians;
-Career labs and workshops on arts advocacy, including lobbying, building grassroots movements, and the art of public speaking;
-Mentorship opportunities with professionals in the field of technical music production;
-Excursions to events at cultural organizations;
-A culminating arts advocacy campaign project aimed at local policymakers and their influencers;
-College application support.

Launched in 2022, NEXTGen has a vibrant alumni network of 21 teens from the FY22 and FY23 cohorts. Alumni remain engaged with Midori & Friends via the Alumni Advisory Panel for mentoring, community advocacy, and other projects. Crediting NEXTGen with nourishing their passion for the arts, program alumni are currently enrolled at such esteemed institutions as Princeton University, Thornton School of Music at University of South California, Peabody School of Music at John Hopkins University, Manhattanville College, SUNY Purchase College, and Carleton University.
