PROGRAMS

HUSTLE UP

Art of Hustle is a 6 week program available to students in the fall and spring nationwide. Students meet twice a week virtually to participate in service-learning development programs which are devised to develop students' interest in community building, enhance soft and social skills, and introduce them to STEM/Arts careers.

"Programs like the Hustlers Guild help prepare more youth of color to enter STEAM disciplines and thrive there. By supporting the Hustlers Guild, we will be making a lifelong difference in the lives of students and families."

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)

THE INSPIRATION

Individual members of The Hustlers Guild have been active in our respective communities for years. The organization was formed because we believed our collective voice would garner a larger social impact than continuing independently. In addition, HG trains and hosts professional development seminars for teachers and administrators on the importance of integrating a diverse and inclusive curriculum.
