Media Rhythm Institute (MRI) prides it programs in using love and realness to create a safe and welcoming environment. This provides students with an opportunity to submerge themselves in a positive atmosphere. We use Hip Hop as the cultural lens for educating our students. Instructors are educated and successful members of the multi-media industries that they are teaching in which creates the opportunity for them to act as mentors to students, taking a genuine interest in students and giving them experiential knowledge. MRI programs are engaging and allow students to learn while also having fun. Students are able to take what they have learned in the program and educate others throughout the community while simultaneously preparing for a career in the field of their choice. MRI is a youth development pipeline from the cradle to career, specializing in workforce development in the multimedia and entertainment industries.
