About
Street Poets Inc. harnesses the healing power of poetry and music to build community and to inspire our next generation to write, rap, and dream a new world into being for us all. For over 25 years, Street Poets Inc. has been working in Los Angeles to break the cycle of violence in the lives of at-risk and incarcerated youth by awakening them to their gifts; building creative community by bringing youth, adults, and elders of diverse backgrounds into deep transformational relationship; and by consulting and collaborating with other organizations and communities to inspire both individual and systemic change, transforming our culture to one that celebrates healing and the creative process.
