Speak Child was founded in 2005. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization; a community of artists passionate about the written and spoken word. We help youth develop critical thinking skills, while increasing basic reading competency. Our organization focuses on reading & creative writing programs, geared toward increasing literacy through the Arts. Culture is another component of our program that enables us to communicate the importance and significance of diversity and heritage. We believe that through the implementation of substance-based literary and artistic works, Speak Child will unlock the creative excellence of our youth.

Youth ages 6-17 are eligible to participate in our workshops. Adults are also welcome to join as volunteers or instructors in assisting the youth in the program. Registration is open as long as space is available. We offer discounts for early registration, friend and family referrals, or for individuals that register for more than one workshop at the time of registration. You may register in person or by mailing in the registration form.
