As a collective of youth programs focused on using media and music industry skills to promote STEM fields, enhance academic achievement and develop future entrepreneurs, we believe in meeting youth where they are and using their current interests to engage them in life skills that will improve their chances of success. We provide equipment and space to learn and develop their crafts. We envision MRI becoming a national, youth-run, collegiate institution that is well-known among top Hip Hop artists and communities as one of the best places to learn and honor the 5 pillars of Hip Hop; an incubator for tomorrow’s industry leaders.
