Administrative Professionals Day

On Wednesday, we celebrated Administrative Professionals Day. On this day, we recognize all the hard work that administrators are putting in to further their organization's mission. Many are facing new challenges and obstacles during these difficult times but continue to innovate ways to serve their communities. Shout out to all administrators and thank you for all the work that you do.

Virtual Open Mic

We want to give a huge shout out and thank you to Samantha Kalinsky for owning the stage during this week's Virtual Open Mic. She blessed us with lovely covers of her favorite songs from Daniel Caesar and was also the first guest ever to show off some dance moves in our Open Mic. We encourage more dancers to join and showcase their moves!

Happy Birthday Hannah Kim!!!

Last - but certainly not least - BEAT sends a HUGE happy birthday to our Board Chair, the one and only Ms. Hannah Y. Kim!! In the short year since Ms. Kim became Board Chair, she's assisted BEAT in securing support from a number of prestigious organizations, created new partnerships for BEAT within the NYC community, and has been absolutely crucial in steering BEAT through these uncertain COVID-19 times. We are deeply indebted to Ms. Kim for her passion, determination, and tenacity in helping us further our mission of unlocking the social, emotional, and creative potential of underserved youth and youth with disabilities as we use Hip Hop to heal their bodies and minds.

Happy Birthday Hannah!!!!

We at BEAT are constantly looking for creative ways to uphold our mission to uplift and empower our youth and communities.
