"Nonviolence means
avoiding not only external
physical violence, but also
internal violence of spirit.
You not only refuse to
shoot a man, but you
refuse to hate him."

Who said that?

"We will consider ourselves
successful when we have helped
a high-risk teenager in danger
of turning to the streets make
a U-Turn to a better future and
a U-Turn to a better Life."

(U-Turn 4 Life, Inc.)

It's Showtime!

  U-Turn 4 Life Inc. will produce high quality multi-media presentations showcasing the talents of inner-city teenagers and spreading the message of education, non-violence, and hope. Our young people will: 1) produce, direct, and star in U-Turn Video & TV productions, 2) produce, choreograph, and dance with U-Turn to Motion (Hip Hop, Double Dutch & more), 3) produce, write, and perform with U-Turn to Music (Rap, Hip Hop, & more), 4) produce, write, and act with the U-Turn Players (Theater, skits, videos & more), and 5) produce, design, write, and create, with U-Turn to the Arts (Poetry, drawing,, graphics & more). These powerful creative venues will allow them to use Video, Music, Dance, and the Performing and Fine Arts to express themselves peacefully and creatively while keeping them off the streets and away from negative influences and activities. All these groups will work collectively to outreach to other high-risk teenagers in danger of dropping out of school and turning to gangs, drugs, or prostitution. Videos, DVD's and CD's will be produced and marketed showcasing the talents of our young people as they reach out to help reduce the violence destroying their friends and their communities.
