About
By placing inspirational writers and music production mentors in schools, Southern Word creates relevant connections between what students are learning in class and their own experiences. Southern Word isn’t just developing artists, but developing powerful communicators with the ability to write, listen, speak, and project positive identities. Additionally, as youth create and share from their personal experiences, empathy and classroom engagement increases, new peer and teacher bonds form, and mental health improves. Southern Word is also creating school-wide literary ecosystems with dedicated writing spaces, individualized and ELL support, college-essay guidance, and more.
