Support the Next Generation of Changemakers

At Urban Word, we give young people the tools, training, and platforms to tell their stories and to change the world.

Your donation helps provide free creative writing workshops, college prep, and performance opportunities to youth from historically marginalized communities. These young writers don’t just express themselves, they lead movements, build communities, and inspire action.

We are proud founders of the National Youth Poet Laureate Program, spotlighting youth who are not only brilliant writers but powerful civic leaders.

Your gift goes directly to:

Empowering youth voices through poetry and performance
Keeping all of our programs 100% free
Helping young people become leaders in their schools, neighborhoods, and beyond

This is your moment to stand with youth. Donate today and be part of the story they’re writing for the future.
