About

Youth Organized and United to Help (Y.O.U.th) a 501(c) 3 non-profit. Our desire is to promote, organize and create workshops and events using youth culture through the 5 elements of Hip Hop. The first summit began in 2007 in response to the murder of 14 year old DaVonte Lightfoot.  His death sparked a fire in the heart and mind of the founder Imani Muhammad. 

Since 2010, Y.O.U.th has progressed beyond an annual event in February to providing a summer fundraiser The Peace & Unity Fest, documentary discussions throughout the community, focus youth groups as a partner organization with Portland State University and most recently traveling to Seattle, Washington to duplicate the annual youth summit in Portland.
