"This Puerto Rican/Latino youth membership club and internet coffee-house exists with a threefold purpose: a) to showcase the talents of the area's youth (hip hop, poetry with a purpose, music) and engage them in a continuous dialogue about youth, art, culture and the community; b) to link Puerto Rican/Latino students in the area universities with the community, particularly through publications and performances; and c) to provide a place in which older youth share their creative skills in a process of social ecology with younger people, (i.e. murals, creative writing, web page design, community gardening)."
