Youth speaks x Chapter 510 After School workshops
Join Youth Speaks for after school workshops starting this Fall facilitated by Youth Speaks teaching artists!
1st and 3rd Wednesdays
“PAGE 2 STAGE”
Calling all young writers, poets, performers, and storytellers ages 13–19. Join us to sharpen your writing and performance skills, craft your voice, and explore how your stories can shape the way people see themselves, their communities, and the world around them.
Write new work, share your perspective, and connect with other young artists in Oakland.
Your story matters. Your voice can move people. Come make something.
*$200 Stipends Available for participants who attend all 3rd Wednesday workshops this fall. Stipends are limited.
A poetry workshop series centered on the power of storytelling, voice, and narrative. Explore slam, hip-hop, and performance while learning how to shape your experiences into stories that connect, challenge perspectives, and create change. Build your performance skills and learn how to take your writing from the page to the stage.
This project is a part of our Write, Speak, Heal partnership with Youth Speaks and Divine Radiance funded by the Oakland Fund for Children and Youth.
