Most believers and non-believers young and old want to make a difference and not just in their community, but throughout the world. The youth of today understand that a person is not defined by the color of their skin, the language they speak, their religion, or their place of birth. They understand that they are loved, valued and respected.

2) YOUTH-TO-YOUTH PROGRAM – There has been a movement (shift) happening in many schools because our youth are starting to see each other as valuable, insightful leaders. YHH.ROCKS Youth-to-Youth will tailor its program according to the needs of the school and the community.
Many programs and services that are key to young people’s success are severely lacking in most communities. YHH.ROCKS believes that the world’s greatest asset, is its youth, so, we will use our youth to create a youth-led approach to filling any gaps in either programs or services. This process will provide youth with opportunities to build skills and confidence to become the leaders of tomorrow.
Weekly activities and events are be designed and led by youth for their peers and younger children, and will always be play-based, fun, inclusive and free.
YHH.ROCKS needs your help and support to develop and maintain these programs, so, please volunteer today and do your part in creating a world where all youth are free to follow their dreams.

3) Youth and Today’s Technology Program
There are many people (not just seniors) who feel like today’s technology has left them behind and not connected to the world around them. But if they had opportunities to be around and coached by today’s very informed youth, they would see that with a little direction and knowledge they can enjoy all the technology that exists today. Our youth have grown up with all the gadgets like iPod’s, iPad’s, smart phones and computers so they don’t understand when an older person has a simple problem and gets frustrated and gives up. So, it’s up to our youth to lend a helping hand and bring everyone into the 21 century.
