Vent is a program strategically geared toward high school students to promote positive expression. Students will learn how to articulate creative expression through writing and how it can benefit overall speaking, listening, and reading skills. Music is one of the most powerful influences on our youth. Students are in dire need of a resource that focuses on positive images and messages. Majority of urban music presents youth with skewed perceptions of life and success. The key to changing the narrative is to use the same genre of music they are accustomed to but allowing positivity and self-empowerment to be the driving force. Students become what they’re influenced by. Henceforth, if students are presented with an outlet that will empower them to maximize their potential and recognize the importance of why their influence matters, the outcome could be revolutionary for generations to come.
