Mission

Our mission is to empower youth from marginalized communities through the transformative power of the arts, particularly the art of poetry because it can fortify reading, writing, public speaking and creative skills.

Needs

Over ninety-five percent of our expenditures provide direct services to youth from underserved communities. Your donation will help us provide safe places for children and youth who are vulnerable during out-of-school times. With our cadre of dedicated teaching artists, we provide over 100 hours of fun and engaging supplemental instruction after school. Our curriculum features literature by renowned authors and poetry books written by children and youth, as well as platforms for the expression of youth voices through our annual region-wide poetry writing and performance competition. All our activities help to connect kids to the community and college, fostering social-emotional development and encouraging aspirations for higher education. In light of the numerous budget cuts, we critically need funding to continue this program.

Equity Statement

Our vision is a world where all children have access to artistic expression and nurturing for academic success.
