Youth Poetry Slam

This is your stage to shine! Share your stories, poetry, and any other form of art that you're passionate about. Whether it's spoken word, music, or any other creative outlet, we welcome it all. 

There will be guided activities on the night to help you write something that you can then perform. But if you're not comfortable with public speaking, fear not! We offer the option to have someone else read your work on your behalf, allowing you to express yourself without the pressure of the spotlight. 

For those who want to perform but don't want to share their own material, you're welcome to read something we have pre-prepared. It's about celebrating creativity in all its forms. 

This event is open to all teens aged 12-25, regardless of background or experience level. Friends and family are encouraged to attend and cheer on our talented young artists. Venue TBA
