 YCC members are currently volunteering as adult leaders for Boy Scouts of America's Venturing Crew 2057, located in the Pilsen and Little Vilage communities of Chicago.

          

With the crime rate on the rise and last years all time high murder rate in Chicago of school children, the members of 1913 Records decided to get involved in a youth intervention program, geared towards giving youth an alternative to the streets by volunteering and becoming members of the Boy Scouts of America Venturing Crew 2057, in an effort to expose youth to the many career opportunities that the Music Industry has to offer.

Twice a week adult members of 1913 Records meet with the youth from several communities in Chicago to teach the “Music Industry, Film & Video Workshops” at a local YMCA, some of the courses include photography, DJ mixing, music & video recording, editing, producing and mixing as well as creative writing and music marketing.

1913 Records believes that a positive program like the “Music Industry, Film & Video Workshops” can lead youth from the streets into the studio and help to cultivate skills that will develop into career advancement for youth interested in the music industry.

1913 Records will continue to devote it’s time and resources towards providing productive programs that will offer youth throughout Chicagoland an alternative to the streets.
