The Hip Hop Summit Youth Council was founded in July 2001 by Charles Fisher (also known as the former manager of LL Cool J, the Lost Boyz, and co-discoverer of R. Kelly).  The organization was created to help implement commitments made by record companies, artists, community leaders and elected officials at the historic 2001 Hip-Hop Summit at the Hilton Hotel in New York City.  Participants are taught how to constructively use their time, talent and the Hip-Hop culture to improve social, political and economic conditions in their school, home, and community.
