Student voices take center stage at Write, Rhyme and Recite Collective poetry slam

The power of words will be on full display as the Write, Rhyme and Recite Collective returns, giving students a platform to explore literacy, creativity and spoken word through a dynamic poetry slam competition.

The annual event has already awarded more than $20,000 in scholarships, helping uplift young voices while encouraging artistic expression and confidence on stage.

But it’s more than just a competition.

Attendees can also expect performances from established spoken word artists, along with a panel discussion focused on the impact of storytelling and creative expression in today’s world.

The event has also become a space to recognize community change-makers, with past honorees including Dafny J. Irizarry of the Long Island Latino Teachers Association, Jacob Dixon of Choice for All and Jose Tutiven of Colored Colors.
