YOUTH MESSAGE CELEBRATES 10TH YEAR

AN IMPORTANT YOUTH MESSAGE CELEBRATES 10TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY

Montgomery Village, MD (BlackNews.com) - The Youth Development and Research Fund (YDRF) is celebrating the 10th year anniversary of the MAKiN iT Message. The first of its kind, the MAKiN iT Message is a revolution in reaching youth because it uses their voices and their love for hip-hop to communicate a very important message.

If you want to know the answer to a question–Go Directly to the Source

YDRF employed the above philosophy, and interviewed approximately 150 former drop-outs from different U.S. regions who went back to school, got jobs, and stayed out of trouble. The simple question was, “What did you do to ‘Make it’?”

The MAKiN iT Message was developed by YDRF because of the difficulty parents and schools are having sending out the message that education makes the difference.

With more than 100,000 copies sold to schools and youth program across the U.S., the MAKiN iT Message is helping adults connect with, and relate to, a population with which parents and teachers have been trying to connect for years.

To celebrate the 10th year anniversary, YDRF has put together an on-line presentation on the history on the message. To view this presentation, visit: http://ydrf.com/sales-letter/makin.html
