COOPERATIVE PARTNERS work closely with Urban Word NYC to develop collaborative, student-centered programs for youth. These programs are facilitated by trained mentors and designed to honor young voices. Such partnerships may result in creative writing/spoken word workshops, poetry events, on-site presentations, or a combination thereof.

PRESENTATIONS/EVENT PRODUCTION: Whether you have an existing event that would benefit from youth spoken word performance or your organization would benefit from a youth-focused poetry event, Urban Word NYC can help you achieve your goals.

With five years of experience running successful events bringing together diverse populations through the common ground of poetry, and a talented, energetic population of youth poets, Urban Word NYC partners with organizations around the city to enhance and/or coordinate presentations, panel discussions, open mics and poetry slams.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT/CONSULTING CLIENTS seek Urban Word NYC's expertise in working with youth on creative writing/spoken word, and using poetry to promote critical thinking and true communication regardless of age or experience.

These partnerships often center around professional development, exploring such topics as: ways to use spoken word in a traditional classroom setting; team-building through poetry; teaching from your passions/revitalizing your work through art; incorporating spoken word in the literary tradition; and using a youth mentor/youth-centered model in the classroom.
