At FtS we offer teens the space, support, mentorship, and freedom to develop voice and agency through writing.
Our clubs are designed for teens between 13-18 years old and led by highly trained certified teachers.
This poetry club is designed to show teens the power of words to amuse and entertain, to persuade and enlighten, and to connect and understand. Through reading and writing poetry, teens will explore difficult world topics, their community, their identity, their sense of whimsy and their potential.
This club is led by Angela Smith, co-owner of Recycle Read Repeat and former high school English teacher.
