About
The JustBEATS mind map template outlines a 3-year youth development program focused on music, performance, and employment skills. It covers 52 nodes across four main branches: Professional Development & Employment Track, Outer Community, Inner Community, and Evaluation. The Professional Development & Employment Track progresses from Participant (1st YR) with tracks like Poetry, DJ, Music Production & Performance, and B-boy/Girl, to Assistant Coordinator (2nd YR) with a $1,000/YR stipend and training in co-teaching and curriculum development, and finally to Program Coordinator (3rd YR) at $20/HR for 20HR/WK. The Outer Community branch includes field trips to radio stations (Live105, 94.9, 106.1 KMEL) and recording studios, guest artists, and performances at SHINE SF and Bridging the Bay. This JustBEATS template serves as a structured roadmap for program coordinators and youth workers.
