One of the world’s leading presenters of Spoken Word performance, education, narrative change and youth development programs, Youth Speaks produces local and national youth poetry slams, cultural campaigns, and convenings, alongside a comprehensive slate of arts-in-education programs during the school day, in the after-school hours and on weekends. In addition, we create internationally-recognized theater and digital programming, and have helped launch a national network of over 75 programs who believe in the power of young people.
