CWA celebrates 5
years! We can think of no better way to celebrate than the premier of Russell Simmons Presents: Brave New
Voices. CWA partnered with YouthSpeaks (San Francisco) to bring the National Youth Slam to our
area in 2008. That Festival gave birth to a new HBO series dedicated to
telling the story of youth spoken word. Check it out!
We are Prince
George’s County’s first performance poetry organization
for youth and young adults. Our programs use spoken word poetry to sharpen
language arts skills. Through our programs, CWA youth poets learn to
effectively address personal and social issues they face at home, at school
and in the community.
|
Our mission is to serve area youth through programs and to
shape tomorrow's civic leaders. CWA youth poets work to meet social needs
in Prince George’s
County. They also raise awareness about the emerging art of
performance poetry.
Whether you are a youth poet, a parent or just someone
who would like to help, we’d love to have you join us at one of our
upcoming programs
or events!
