The All-Ages Movement Project

Here's an interesting resource. You can find several PDF files with more in-depth info.

"The All-ages Movement Project is building a coalition of community-based organizations that connect young people through underground independent music and art."

This includes:

• Urban, hip hop, rap, punk, hardcore, indie rock, pop, electronic, avant garde, neo folk music shows and records
• Other - Zines, videos, films, performance art & installations, poetry, murals, products that overlap regularly with music and also exist in between the worlds of art and industry."

AMP has designed a database that now houses the names of over 300 organizations that embody a combination of the following things:

* youth empowerment component
* popular music focus
* participatory structure
* produce music related cultural products
