Hear Our Voices 2022: Creative Writing, Poetry and Theater as Social Action
Post-pandemic programming will feature the evolution of teen programs in creative writing, spoken
word and playwriting/theater, and the launch of WordPlay as the regional home
of the National Youth Poet Laureate program. Returning to in-person programming means it is critical to invest energy in rebuilding the organization's community of teen writers -- former students,
students engaged for the first time in virtual classrooms during the
pandemic, and future students. This means meeting youth where they
are to grow awareness of and trust in our programs, along with deepening partnerships with area schools, teachers and community partners, and when
necessary, integrating the successful elements of remote participation when
being physically present is not feasible. A part-time Program Coordinator will lead this initiative.
