Our writing workshops inspire youth to use the practice of poetry to bear witness to their own lives and the lives of those around them, to speak their truth and to dream a new world into being. Street Poets conducts workshops at middle schools, high schools and juvenile probation camps throughout Los Angeles County and beyond. At some sites, we collaborate with Rhythm Arts Alliance to incorporate African drumming into our core curriculum. Our poetry workshops reach over 1000 youth annually.
