But it <em>is<\/em> actually happening.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">For Englewood, a South Side neighborhood of Chicago, the unfolding change for good can be traced back to non-profits like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thinkoutsidedablock.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Think Outside Da Block<\/a> \u2014 an influential organization impacting their community through youth development. Constructed with intention in togetherness, Think Outside Da Block takes control of the future by proactively shaping the present.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">A facilitator of many activities tailored specifically to youth, the nonprofit goes beyond your typical after school program; it\u2019s a program that underlines the importance of physically stepping into one\u2019s community. This carries over to the program\u2019s activities like Roll N Peace, a community bike ride that invites participants to get curious about their surrounding neighborhoods.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">So why is biking around one\u2019s neighborhood such a remarkable experience? The initiative rekindles a new sense of promise for peace and refreshing one\u2019s outlook. Through their own experiences, the youth are able to push past the media\u2019s cliche depiction of Englewood\u2019s violent reputation, to create a new narrative for their streets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Community focused brand TOMS captured Think Outside Da Block\u2019s latest bike tour, interviewing the nonprofit\u2019s founder Maurice \u201cPha\u2019tal\u201d Perkins. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/browse\/56664-wrecker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wrecker<\/a>\u201d by Marmoset artist, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/artists\/bossfight\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bossfight<\/a> plays in the background as rising rap artist Pha\u2019tal enforces the purpose of the organization \u2014 empowering the youth of the community to think outside their block.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Watch the social video campaign below.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">TOMS is proud to support organizations like Think Outside Da Block that seek to engage, educate, and empathize with their community\u2019s youth through productive activity and communication.
