Citywide Poets
InsideOut’s award-winning after school program provides teens with weekly creative writing workshops, publication, and performance opportunities. In this rigorous and supportive literary community, teens learn their words are powerful and embrace creative expression as a tool for self-development and civic engagement. For the 2020/21 school year, Citywide Poets will be 100% virtual.
