Join the Massachusetts Youth Climate Coalition for our first ever Youth Climate Poetry Workshop & Showcase. Together we'll learn about and generate poetry about environmental issues in workshops with experienced artists, poets, and environmental scientists. Then, we will share our work in a spoken word Showcase as a whole group. There may also be opportunities for poets and artists to share their previously created work.

Purpose: We aim to celebrate and inspire youth (especially ages 14-24) to connect the arts and the climate movement. We also hope to grow the coalition's relationships and commitment beyond the greater Boston area by building bridges with environmental justice communities and artists in Springfield.
The Massachusetts Youth Climate Coalition is a diverse, youth-led, adult-supported network of over 25 organizations, clubs, and hubs who center the voices of Massachusetts’s young people in the climate movement. This event is supported in part by the MYCC Funding & Finance Team, a fiscally sponsored project of Future Incubator.
