We are part of the WORCESTER POETRY COLLECTIVE  - a coalition of spoken word venues in Worcester, that have combined forces to promote perfomance poetry in our fair city. fatherSonatstARTWe contributed audio poem tracks, blank cd’s, time to burn and helped distribute over 500 free poetry sampler cd’s to the good folks who attended the 2009 stART on the Street Festival where Worcester Youth Slam (past & present) performed on 2nd stage between musical acts throughout the day. This project will continue throughout the year. If you’re interested in helping, we could certainly use blank cd’s, blank cd cover stickers, volunteers to burn & volunteers to help package these snazzy cd’s. email us at worcesteryouthslam2004@yahoo.com and we’ll help you help us!

      Cool. Thanks for your interest. The slam this saturday is the season finale where we select our team. So there won’t be another “official” youth poetry slam until the fall. we’ll still be running poetry workshops for the time being and will have a few outside events leading up to our trip to Brave New Voices Youth Festival. Email me you email address and I can add you on our mailing list. How old are you? Where do you go to school? How did you find out about us. You should come to the finale slam though and check out a really great show.

      Hello –
      Sorry for the late reply. Are you a teen ager looking to get involved with youth poetry slam? If so, and you live near Worcester, there will be many opportunities for you to get involved. We’re working on getting our season schedule squared away for actual youth competitions that lead to forming our team, but in the meantime, I run a free writing and performance workshops series that meets every Monday evening 6-8pm at Worcester County Poetry Association Offices at 1 Ekman Street. Directions are on the workshop page of this website. Let me know if you’re interested in participating. The actual youth slam’s will probably start in late september of october.
      ow old are you? where do you go to school? would you like us to add your email to our contact list to let you know about future events? thanks for finding us!
