Connect Force

Through instruction in the core hip-hop elements including breakdancing, graffiti art, MCing, DJing, and music production, Connect Force uses artistic expression to bring together a diverse group of youth and community members and promote a positive, healthy and productive way of living and being.

Connect Force provides hands-on opportunities for youth to develop their artistic ability, physical fitness and critical life skills through a combination of structured and self-directed activities including community service projects, monthly performances, peer-led workshops and social justice events.

Connect Force offers activities during afterschool hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays as well as Saturday afternoons at Alternatives’ Uptown Youth Center. Details here!

The Connect Force crew is available for breakdance performances, lessons, mural painting, DJing, and more! For more information, contact Justin Grey at jgrey@alternativesyouth.org or 773-506-7474.
