SUMMARY:Youth Poet Laureate 2025 APPLICATION DEADLINE: DECEMBER 10!
DESCRIPTION:The Carnegie Center for Literacy and Learning is proud to announce its continuation of Kentucky’s first Youth Poet Laureate chapter in Lexington. This prestigious program\, in partnership with Urban Word NYC and the Kentucky Arts Council\, is designed to honor young writers and leaders in Kentucky between the ages of 13-18\, who are committed to making a civic impact through community engagement utilizing the power of their written and spoken words. We strongly believe that when we honor young people and give them this kind of office\, the community is more likely to listen to what they have to say.
