Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The mission of Urban Word NYC (the Organization) is to champion the voices of New York City youth by providing platforms for critical literacy, youth development and leadership through free and uncensored writing, college preparation and performance opportunities. Urban Word NYC serves aspiring young writers from across New York Citys five boroughs. Its target population reflects the makeup of the public institutions from which they are largely drawn (40% African American, 20% Latino, 18% Asian/Pacific Islander, 15% White, 5% Middle Eastern and 2% Other), over 95% of which attend Title I schools (free or reduced lunch).

The mission of urban word nyc (the organization) champions and elevates young, marginalized voices as leaders at the intersection of literary arts and civic engagement. Through the transformative power of the written and spoken word, urban word equips youth with the tools, training, and platforms to rewrite the narratives that shape their lives and communities. As one of the nation's oldest and most comprehensive youth literary arts organizations, urban word leads both local and national programs including the national youth poet laureate program, cultivating a network of poets, civically engaged leaders, and educators dedicated to empowering the next generation of creative changemakers.
