Come witness the skill and power as the top 6 high school poetry slam teams from across the Bay Area perform for the title of Youth Speaks’ Unified District Slam champion! For the first time ever, the District Slam is a team slam, so each school has a team of 4-5 poets representing them. Now open to schools beyond San Francisco and Oakland, this year’s slam includes teams from across the East Bay, North Bay, and Peninsula. Preliminary slam bouts take place the week of February 15 at the deYoung Museum and Laney College.
Every year hundreds of Youth Poets, Performers and Emcees claim the stage, and the mic in the Youth Speaks Teen Poetry Slam. This year, in 6 different preliminary slam events throughout the bay area, poets will share their truths in an effort to make the finals stage.
We’re excited to tell you about a great opportunity for you to save money and give back to Youth Speaks at the same time!
