Power to the Poets!

As WordPlay steps into our second decade, our kids are dreaming big. Their voices, aspirations, joy, and even their challenges are shaping a powerful vision for our next decade.

We invite you to join in that vision.

While WordPlay employs all forms of writing in our free programs for children, teens, and young adults, poetry intersects nearly everything we do. We know it is a vehicle for change and an act of bravery, connection, and shared humanity. Across its infinite forms, poetry is an exceptionally powerful means of learning and self-growth.

Your gift today builds a foundation for the future that lifts up the voices and stories of our young people.

Power to the poets!

Thank you.
