Elevate the streets is a movement to uplift street subcultures
We are bboys, parkour artists, DJs. We believe subcultures can be a force for good for our community. Through partnerships with schools and social services, we find ways to bridge the gap between society and the streets.
To the young-at-heart and the ones passionate about the arts, we welcome you to elevate the streets
