Description: Hip Hop and Popular Youth Culture are major influences on the youth of today and the behavioral choices they make. Adult service providers have often neglected this dominant and persuasive influence in the lives of our youth. Social marketers and advertisers have taken full advantage of the opportunity and reality of a void of pro-social messages shaped by youth serving communities knowledgeable about hip hop and popular youth culture. This session actively takes participants through brief history of the music we listened to as youth and young adults as well as the culture of that time so that the reality of how music and culture often impacts attitudes and behavior. The approach will be on cultural competency and how it enhances the current services that are being provided for youth today. Participants should expect to examine: theories; history; current programs and activities; program development.
