3rd EyE Youth Empowerment

3rd EyE was founded in 1998 by three New Bedford youth looking to do something positive and creative in their community. 20+ years later, the driving force of this all-volunteer organization continues to be youth and young adults who are interested in developing skills in leadership and community building. Opportunities include experience in music and video production, mentoring, networking, organizing, event planning, and community outreach.

Mission

3rd Eye Youth Empowerment engages, unites, and activates the community through hip hop culture and mentorship to become transformative leaders.
