  9 Elements is a community based Hip Hop preservation society. 9 Elements (9E) provides the Hip Hop community with the knowledge skills and resources, necessary to make individual, social, and economic change through grassroots education. 9E aim is to use the Hip Hop culture as a means to inspire, guide, and empower its diverse communities and at -risk youth, by engaging the youth through creative programs and projects that will raise hope and bring solutions to our community problems. As services and educational programs within the educational system receive cuts and or become privatised, institutions across the board are looking to independent institutions and consultants for program designs and execution. The application of Urban Arts into the education system through youth centers, and events is becoming all the more common. As an international organisation that is dedicated to its mission we are constantly looking to work with those developing experimental proven methods to apply Hip Hop as a positive motivational and academic tool. This is why 9E has picked up Education as an initiative and focal point for its students, teachers, partners, and donors.It’s Networking and Events Program (NEP) is designed to produce and provide the artist with the opportunities to sell and market their product. This program thrives on creating and presenting Hip Hop festivals, concerts, lectures, and panel discussions focusing on community, cultural and human awareness. The NEP is run by the 9E delegates and oversight committee.9 Element’s Fashion is designed and comprised by Hip Hop artists, designers and developers with the intentions to design and create genuine grass roots Hip Hop clothing. The focus of 9 elements fashion is to provide the inner city youth and Hip Hop culture with fresh and affordable gear.Our goal is to continue to develop and expand these programs and projects within our urban communities whilst creating new innovative ways to evolve.
