Young Poets of Louisville offers young people both a community of creative individuals and the platform to share their art. Through free workshops youth can create work, collaborate with others, discuss important topics, and enhance writing and performance skills. Through the monthly Floetic Friday Youth Slams, young people can share their voices with the community and improve their performance skills.
Our current opportunities include:
- Free Writing and Performance Workshops (Bi-monthly)
- Writing and Performance Feedback
- Monthly Floetic Friday Youth Slams
- Young Poets Slam Team
- National Travel Opportunities
