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, identities, and futures. Southern Word isn’t dedicated to just developing poets and artists. We develop powerful communicators with the tools necessary for youth to write, listen, speak, and project positive identities. Additionally, as youth create and share from their personal experiences, empathy and classroom engagement increases, new student-to-student and student-to-teacher bonds form, and mental health improves. Programs offered include spoken word, fiction, open mics, music production, songwriting, guest writer events, and college essay writing.
