Description

The Hip-Hop Summit Youth Council Mobile app is for the fans, artists and enthusiasts of Hip Hop.

The Hip-Hop Summit Youth Council (“HHSYC”) was founded by its Chairman Charles Fisher in July of 2001. The organization was created to help implement the commitments, guidelines and policies made by record companies, artists, community leaders and elected officials at the June 12-13, 2001 Hip-Hop Summit at the Hilton Hotel in New York. After attending the historic and successful "closed door" event and sitting on its Youth panel, Charles felt a genuine need to establish an Advocacy group that would work towards meeting Hip-Hop's most important challenges, which are to improve the image and unity within the Hip-Hop culture; show our participants how to constructively use their time, talent and the Hip-Hop culture to improve social, political and economic conditions in their school, home and community.

Randy Fisher has served as the executive director since 2002 and has provided a ‘hands on’ approach to the needs and aspirations of youths and young adults. As a 28-year-old seasoned executive he plays a duel role towards fulfilling the organization’s mission. He has to work in the trenches to earn the respect of young people, but also meet with elected officials, corporate, community, clergy, school staff and community leaders to address their many needs. Over the years he has earned the loyalty of our youths and young adults by communicating with them on a level they can understand and being there for them when the going gets tough. As their trusted representative he has the experience and professional skills to bridge the communication gap between our youth and adults so both can work to improve communities nationwide.
