Here at The Residency, we believe that dreams really do rule everything around us.

We dream of a world where young people are encouraged in their self expression.
We dream of a world where young artists have platforms for speaking their truth.
We dream of a world where young leaders are uplifted by their communities.

You are part of a powerful community that has come together to equip the young people in our program with the tools, skills, mentorship, and experience they need to become professional artists, cultural changemakers, and leaders. Together, we hold space for the next generation to build tangible artistic and professional skills while also gaining confidence, teamwork, and a deepened understanding of their own identity and power.

When young people have aspirations and big dreams, it makes them creative. It drives their self-expression. Dreams help them learn who they are - and what they stand for.

Pursuing their dreams brings young people closer to their liberation and healing. Over the last 8 years, programming at The Residency has helped over 500 young hip-hop artists and creators pursue their dreams, discover their unique voices, and become who they were meant to be. And we need your help to keep doing it.

For 50 years, hip-hop has been a healing force for communities who haven’t been invited to the table. When you donate to our D.R.E.A.M. Campaign, you are joining the movement for young people to build their own tables.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY
