    NEWARK, NJ, December 04, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Music makes you loose control! Pump up the volume! Calling all lovers of beats, tempos and lyrics. December 6, 2014 marks the 4th Annual Jersey Club Awards. The Jersey Club Awards was created to encourage and promote the creative arts such as dancing, music production, DJing, singing and poetry. Since it's inception in 2010 when a group of young individuals, with a dance team called "The Connect" wanted to have their voices heard through music decided to bring together a community of like-minded young adults, the Jersey Club Awards has quietly increased in popularity with participants and supporters spanning all the way to Miami, Florida. To funnel the efforts of these young individuals, Youth Council Teen Center Director Karen Hall felt inspired to start Project Hope, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, becoming the voice of the youth.
