In partnership with Hi-ARTS, Journal 2 Journey is a pre-professional, creative youth development program that presents poetry in a three-dimensional way by allowing youth to re-imagine and re-define their poetry as theatrical one-act plays. Participants gain valuable skills that can propel them into a future in the theater. This 15-week intensive culminates in a live public performance. (Open to Youth Ages 16-21)
The Black Girl Magic Fellowship is more than a program—it’s a movement, a sanctuary, and a regenerative writing space where NYC/NJ-based Black girls and non-binary youth (ages 13-19) are empowered to own their voices, sharpen their pens, and rewrite the narrative. Curated by Urban Word Artistic Director, Mahogany L. Browne, this fellowship offers master classes that dive into the legacies of women artists and activists, past and present. This masterclass opportunity encourages the fellows to explore dynamic writing careers, develop a sustainable writing practice, and gain vital tools for college and self-care.
