KYMO seeks to enhance positive exposure of the youth Music to the public by • creating instructional and performance opportunities for the students and their parent’s • Creating liaisons with other community arts organizations • Encouraging support of School Music programs

We believe that music makes an important difference – it improves SAT scores, reading and math skills, social skills and self-discipline. Music enhances higher brain function, develops quick and decisive thinking and builds teamwork. These valuable skills stay with us throughout life. Because of that commitment, we are pleased to bring you KYMO.
Our programs protect youth from homelessness and imprisonment while helping them achieve their educational, music, and employment goals. By working to build self-reliance and independence, we keep youth off the street and help them develop into responsible members of the community.

We provide safe shelter, educational & employment support, life skills training, counseling, crisis intervention, and specialized services for pregnant and parenting youth.
Our holistic approach allows youth to grow in all areas as they gain the skills necessary for long-term success. The arts influence culture and attract individuals from all backgrounds. Creativity and interactive art also allow individuals to express themselves, break down stereotypes, attract diversity, and build trust.

KYMO NO BULLYING

WHAT IS BULLYING? Bullying is aggressive mental and physical behavior that's done intentionally, the aggressor’s way of showing his/her power behavior that is often repeated over and over again. The research-based KYMO NO BULLYING program teaches youth to recognize, refuse, and report bullying, be assertive, and build friendships.
KYMO NO BULLYING lessons can help youth feel safe and supported by the adults around them, so they can build stronger bonds in their community and focus on academic achievement. Our program supports schools also, with school wide policies and training. Now everyone can work together to build a safe environment free from bullying.

Be alert to signs of youth who may be in distress.
Encourage any young person who is bullied to tell a teacher, counselor, or parent.
Provide confidential help-consult with a school counselor or other mental health professional if you feel uncertain about how best to support a student.
Support training.

It might be hard to tell the difference between playful teasing and bullying. Teasing usually involves two or more friends who act together in a way that seems fun to all the people involved.

Bullying is peer abuse that should not be tolerated under any circumstances.

HH WORLDWIDE IS ON A MISSION to tame rap's hardcore mentality into a positive, message-oriented music suitable for our youth and mass audiences.

Mentoring the community's youth through music! The universal language!

 

 K.Y.M.O’S mission is to provide our communities youth access to all levels of music education. We fulfill our mission by supporting school programs. We will create after-school programs that provide beyond the classroom experiences to give a holistic view of music education, and engaging various populations in our new Center for Community Music and Wellness music therapy and music education programs. K.Y.M.O will impact youth from all ethnic backgrounds. KYMO will develop the youth’s musical talents through active involvement in community services. We feel by engaging the young musicians or future music business leaders in these community services, we will foster the children’s recognition and acceptance of such common social values as sharing, teamwork, and striving for excellence. We will also sponsor anti-crime and anti-drug youth functions for all ages, including special needs children. We are pushing aggressively to take back our youth from the infestation of gangs and violence that they are subjected to on a daily basis. Our idea is, that if we consistently offer engaging activities that are also learning experiences for the youth to be involved in, then just maybe, the idle time they have, will be occupied and this will keep them off the streets and away from drugs and crime. Music is a powerful medium for youth expression, identity and social change. Young people, who rely on music as a way to channel a range of emotion, rarely find opportunities in the adult world to produce, write, and record original music.
