Change. Change starts with one person standing up and saying "enough." Change is an action and not a word, it is demonstrated not spoken. Change is what happens when six young adults from various walks of life decide to forego the norm. Rather than flipping burgers or checking groceries, these young people light a spark for change using the culture that they love. From hip-hop to skateboarding and all points in between, these young people go to work spreading a message about life, freedom and future economic opportunity. If they can do it, you can, too.
