Mission Statement
Youth Speaks creates spaces that challenge young people to develop and amplify their voices as creators of social change. We envision a world in which young people are heard, honored, and connected through creative ecosystems of care.
About This Cause
Since 1996, Youth Speaks has created safe spaces that challenge young people, especially Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Pacific Islander, and those from working-class communities, to find, develop and apply their voices as creators of societal change. From our out-of-school time spoken word programs and specialized workshops to our signature Brave New Voices International Youth Poetry Slam and Life is Living Festival, we provide platforms for young people to speak for themselves and their communities. Ultimately, we aim to create a healthier world for our youth by deconstructing dominant societal narratives, expanding the canon of whose stories get told, and centering our hopes of achieving a healthier world for our youth.
