THE COMMUNICATION PROJECT believes in the potential of all young people and believes that hip-hop is one of the greatest and most exciting art forms of our time. THE COMMUNICATION PROJECT is a project-based, arts integrated Arts in Education writing program created for adolescents at the highest risk for educational failure in schools, in day treatment and residential placement programs, in group homes, in long term suspension programs, and in juvenile justice facilities.

THE COMMUNICATION PROJECT produces CDs which has involved working with an engineer in the laundry room of a juvenile facility and having to stop everything from construction work to basketball in the gym for sound quality.

THE COMMUNICATION PROJECT publishes children’s books, books of poetry, and anthologies of writing by young men and women who need to improve their reading, their knowledge of the narrative structure, and their ability to reach out and communicate.

THE COMMUNICATION PROJECT is interdisciplinary and connects classrooms to the students' lives. Writing is used to improve not only basic literacy skills, but to inject a sense of community belonging, to give students power over the narrative of their own lives, to reach out with strong, clear voices on personal and social identity, and to articulate a compelling vision of how communities and schools can be better places.

THE COMMUNICATION PROJECT creates art that is a vehicle for disenfranchised young people to express themselves. The Project has published over 100 books, including 30 children’s books, produced 18 CDs, and produced 2 hip-hop theater pieces to enable young people to reach out with their concerns, their thoughts, and their unspoken prayers.
