The workshops were facilitated by 3 teaching artists, who provided high quality poetry writing sessions. We served youth who were in non-secure and secure placements in the Bronx. 100% of our participants were between the ages of 11 and 18. Most participants filled out surveys at the beginning (pre-survey) and at the end of the workshops cycles (post-surveys). In responses to these surveys, young people showed improvements in writing expression and confident speaking.
