What We Offer
Poetry Workshop Series
We lead immersive poetry performance workshops for teens and adults—spaces where writing becomes voice, and voice becomes community. Through guided storytelling and collaborative feedback, participants explore identity, cultivate bold self-expression, and discover the power of their own stories. These workshops are more than practice: they’re opportunities to uplift, connect, and heal.
Professional Development
Designed for teachers, administrators, nonprofits, and community leaders, our professional development programs equip you with creative, equity-centered tools to transform your practice. Topics include:
Diversity & Equity Work — building inclusive environments that honor all voices.
Arts-Based Community Engagement — leveraging the arts to deepen connection and community resilience.
Youth Development — supporting young people’s growth through mentorship, creativity, and self-discovery.
Arts Integration — weaving the arts into existing learning spaces to strengthen curriculum and spark joy.
These sessions don’t just share knowledge—they co-create culture.
Sustainable Community Wellness Pilot Program
SCWI is a collaborative journey for educational communities seeking lasting cultural change. Together, we:
Take an honest inventory of community culture—unearthing inequities, norms, and challenges.
Join forces to envision what wellbeing looks like for everyone—administrators, teachers, students, and all community members.
Build a community care plan that’s sustainable, deeply felt, and rooted in collective stewardship.
This is about growing healthy, supportive spaces where everyone belongs and thrives.
COMMA Fellowship Pilot Program
A nine-month intensive designed for young artists ready to deepen their craft and strengthen their civic role. Fellows in poetry, theatre, dance, multimedia, or visual arts receive mentorship in artistic technique and community-based leadership. Throughout the program, they’ll learn how art can be an instrument of joy, advocacy, and shared healing—and emerge ready to uplift their communities through creativity.
Poetry for Empowerment Pilot Program
An interdisciplinary initiative rooted in arts integration that amplifies and celebrates the creative potential already present in your educational community. With poetry performance at its heart, PFE guides teachers and students in using art for authentic storytelling, truth-telling, and transformation. It’s a chance to embed arts sustainably, honor lived experience, and cultivate voices that inspire change.
