I have observed the positive impact that Totally Positive Productions (TPP) strives to achieve with youth and young adults in Chicago through various programs and services aimed at keeping the youth away from the streets, characterized by gang-related activities. Of particular interest is the talent competitions which search, nurture and develop the talent of young people with the aim of enhancing their creative skills. The competitions have enabled some of the youth to be recognized as emerging talent.

Totally Positive Productions (TPP) has been working to improve the quality of lives of youth and young adults in Chicago over the last 26 years. TPP has targetted 300 young people yearly through various programs such as Talent Competitions and other 'Off the Street' activities as a deterrent to drug and gang violence. I would highly recommend TPP for the opportunities that it creates for the young people in Chicago.
I think that non profit can improve because good chances at some good points for example a non profit doing this well sharing the fruits of their labor can improve the chance they'll volunteer again in the future .
Totally Positive Productions is committed to helping young people stay off the streets and in school with creative arts and community service. I was working with TPP on submitting an anti-violence public service announcement that was created by the young people in the program. It was amazing to hear the passion and experiences of inner city teens. The organization is also committed to countering negative stereotypes of African Americans created by rap music by creating positive rap. This is a not only an expression of creativity; it's expresses their emotions and pure genius. TPP is definitely a hidden treasure in the big city of Chicago.
