Engaging youth during critical hours of the day: <br />There is plenty of statistics supporting the need for keeping youth engaged in <br />productive activities especially after school. The so-called Millinium Generation is <br />made up of youth who are influenced by the Internet, the media, and TV shows like <br />American Idol. Project RYTMO addresses this generation's need for creative and <br />positive artistic expression in a professional music environment that is both <br />educational and prepares them for potential job opportunities. <br /> <br />
