H.Y.P.E. Movement MISSION: The H.Y.P.E. Movement (Helping Youth Pursue Emancipation) is an international youth liberation movement that encourages young people to transform their lives by emancipating their minds from all negativity, embracing their dreams, educating themselves, empowering their lives, engaging in community action, and striving for excellence to help create the kind of positive change that they would like to see in the world.
When I first saw an ad for this movement, it was on a bulletin at BYUH. I thought it was good idea. I also thought that it was sad that so many people dropped out of high school but also that that was part of the stereotypes of polynesians. The saddest part for me was that either their parents or grandparents sacrificed a lot to get them to America then they throw it all away by dropping out and joining gangs or just adding to the population of the lower class and citizens on welfare. I can't tell you all the reasons why, but a lot I feel don't believe enough in their potential either because of their peers or because of the teachers who stereotype them as well. I like this movement that inspires kids to follow their dreams. I don't know everything that they do because it looks like they are stationed in Salt Lake, and I tried contacting the founder to get a wristband, but I never got a reply. So, we will just have to see. One of the ambassadors though I am quite impressed with is Hefa Tuita. That fool can dance. Garrenz if you watch some Chris Brown music videos he is in there dancing. Amazing. Anyways, here are some links to their channels and pages. Maybe look for some videos of Hefa. Enjoy :).
