showed up.
Every number is a young man who showed up, made something, and left with more of himself than he came in with.

One stage. Many ways to be seen.
Built for
the whole
of them.
Street Genius exists to create the conditions where young men — particularly boys of color — can meet themselves in full. We believe identity is not a problem to solve but a story to excavate.
When young men are given the tools, the room, and the community to do that work, they don't just grow — they lead.

One
Weekend.
Not the boys."
We use podcasting, music production, DJ'ing, and visual design as the vehicle for identity development. In a Street Genius intensive, a boy doesn't just learn about himself. He makes something that proves it.
One weekend. Free. Meals included. This summer it was LOUD — July 24–25 at El Buen Samaritano in South Austin.
Identity creates agency.
Agency creates trajectory.
Made possible by partners
who believe in boys.
