HHCF has spent many years deepening the valuable relationship it has forged with local schools and various community based organizations by being able to provide life enriching programming in a safe setting to youth who otherwise have limited access to high quality alternative learning, culture and arts experiences. The HHCF uses its unique program as a platform to promote the idea that every young person is High In Potential and has the capacity to Help Other People (HIP-HOP framed differently). \u00a0It is through this framework that a stronger community consciousness and academic achievement\u00a0will be created and realized.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For more information visit<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hiphopchess.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.hiphopchess.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The HIP HOP CHESS FEDERATION (HHCF) 501(c)(3)\u00a0is one of the world\u2019s most unique programming initiatives addressing youth ages 6 \u2013 18. \u00a0HHCF Founder and Executive Director, Adisa Banjoko, continues to bolster his successful, well publicized and well documented approach to helping youth embrace and apply alternative strategies to\u00a0obstacles in life\u00a0by providing an engaging, interactive program &#8230; <a title=\"Hip Hop Chess Federation\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/heroesma.com\/backup\/2016\/10\/20\/hip-hop-chess-federation\/\" aria-label=\"More on Hip Hop Chess Federation\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6410,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"link","meta":{"generate_page_header":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[240],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/heroesma.com\/backup\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/hhcf.jpg?fit=400%2C400&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7Zjud-1Fn","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":6647,"url":"https:\/\/heroesma.com\/backup\/2017\/08\/04\/monday-comp-class-gathering-of-the-tribes\/","url_meta":{"origin":6409,"position":0},"title":"Monday Comp Class: Gathering of the Tribes","author":"admin","date":"August 4, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"Heads up, this Mondays Competition Class (Scheduled from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM as usual will have a twist!
