Empowering Youth for Climate Action and Cultural Change

We are currently facing a long-standing issue of climate change. Scientists specializing in catastrophes have cautioned us that time is running out. It’s important to understand that the urgency of addressing climate change and environmental issues is essential, particularly within communities of color. The Go-Go Green Initiative aims to educate and empower youth to become leaders in the fight against climate change while preserving their cultural heritage. This program offers valuable insights into the intersection of environmental sustainability, social justice, food security, and health equity. Let’s discover how Go-Go culture plays a pivotal role in this transformative journey.

Youth Excellence Program

Our Youth Excellence Program is a vital component of this initiative, introducing a comprehensive health and wellness curriculum. This redefines the culture of Go-Go, expanding its meaning beyond music and entertainment. Now, it encompasses healthy eating, gardening, and addressing climate change. Through this program, youth are inspired to pursue sustainability and explore careers as scientists, geologists, engineers, oceanographers, gardeners, and more.

A foundation for positive change.

Our purpose is to harness the irresistible rhythm of Go-Go, blending it with a profound commitment to positive change. What sets us apart is our unwavering belief that the beats that once defined our community can now redefine it. We stand out by bridging the cultural legacy of Go-Go with holistic education in health, well-being, and empowerment. Our unique approach harmonizes the past with the present, rewriting narratives and dispelling stigmas. We are not just an initiative; we are a movement, breathing new life into an age-old tradition and igniting a brighter, healthier future for the Greater Washington DC Metropolitan area.
