Real Conversations
Age-appropriate conversations that speak to the choices, pressures, and possibilities young people face today.
A youth empowerment experience
Real conversations. Real connections. Real possibilities.
More than an event
I AM THE HYPE™ meets young people where they are while encouraging them to think bigger about where they are going. The experience brings together conversation, participation, encouragement, and positive connections.
Age-appropriate conversations that speak to the choices, pressures, and possibilities young people face today.
A positive environment where young people can participate, engage with others, and know their voice matters.
Exposure and encouragement that help youth recognize their strengths and see beyond where they are today.
Healthy. Young. Powerful. Empowered.
HYPE TN creates engaging experiences that encourage young people to build confidence, make healthy choices, connect with positive opportunities, and recognize what is possible for their future.
We believe young people do not have to wait until adulthood to understand that their lives have value, their voices matter, and their future is worth investing in.
Young people deserve spaces that challenge, encourage, and celebrate who they are becoming.
Free and open to youth. A parent or legal guardian must complete registration for participants under 18.
Stand with young people
Families, volunteers, schools, community organizations, and local partners all have a role in creating stronger opportunities for youth.
