The Youth Poetry Fellowship (YPF) program is made up of a group of teen writers and leaders committed to poetry, performance, civic and community engagement, education, and equity across the Puget Sound region.
The Seattle Youth Poet Laureate, along with the Youth Poetry Fellows, has numerous opportunities and platforms to share their powerful voices, their leadership, and love of Seattle at regional events throughout the course of the year.
The Youth Poet Laureate also publishes a poetry collection, released in May by Poetry NW Editions.
Over the course of the school year, Fellows meet for workshops, collaborate print projects, and perform at public readings.
