Boost Mobile organizes concerts for young people who perform community service; LA show set for March 30, others on the way.
What better way to get kids to volunteer than by offering a star-studded concert of rappers and hard rockers?
The Game
Boost Mobile RockCorps (BMRC), an organization focused on inciting young people to perform community service, has lined up the Game, Korn, Young Jeezy, +44, and Rise Against for a show at LA's Kodak Theatre on March 30, the first of several concerts that will serve as rewards for volunteerism. Students earned tickets to the 3,000-capacity show by performing four hours of community service.
RockCorps hopes it will be the first of many shows to encourage young people to volunteer, as concerts are planned at Atlanta's Fox Theatre and New York City's Radio City Music Hall later this year, with additional tour stops to be announced next month. Last year's BMRC program made stops in Atlanta, Houston, Chicago, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Detroit, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C.
Youth interested in becoming part of the Boost Mobile RockCorps movement can call BMRC at 1-888-ROCK-889, or log onto the RockCorps Web site and write a message about why BMRC should come to their hometown.
